On 5th December, TV1 Channel televised a report in which they blamed Hizb ut Tahrir as part of the terrorist networks. Quoting a high level official in the intelligence agency, National Directorate of Security (NDS) of Afghanistan, the reporter said that activities of Hizb ut Tahrir are alike to that of the Taliban and Al-Qaida and stated that the intelligence agency workers are chasing Hizb ut Tahrir and its activists. The same official of the Afghan Intelligence Agency further said that in the last few years, the activities of Hizb ut Tahrir have increased and expanded to other parts of the country, especially the activities regarding the security agreement and the 2014 U.S. withdrawal plan. He said, “We are monitoring their activities and consider them a threat for Afghanistan and suspect that in the coming years they will replace Al-Qaida.”
The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Afghanistan strongly denies the allegations televised by TV1 and considers it baseless and part of the overall propaganda in which the subservient rulers want to silence the voice of truth using the crusader backed media.
We would like to make the following points clear to the traitor rulers and the media:
1. The claim that “Hizb ut Tahrir is part of the terrorist organizations” is made by Nicolai Bordyuzha while talking to the Afghan media in a press conference in Moscow. Reiterating the same by the National media of Afghanistan is in fact a testimony that Russian Intelligence Agency (KGB) still maintains its old influence upon the Afghan NDS.
2. The baseless allegation levied against Hizb ut Tahrir is a clear manifestation that the intelligence agency officials are ignorant about the methodology of Hizb ut Tahrir for change; that’s why they compared Hizb ut Tahrir’s methodology to that of Taliban and Al-Qaida. Hizb ut Tahrir is actively working in more the 45 countries of the world following the footsteps of the Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to revive the Islamic way of life by re-establishing the Islamic Khilafah. Therefore, following the methodology of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم in Mecca, Hizb ut Tahrir is purely carrying its message to the people through political and intellectual means and no government in the world could bring forth any evidence that could prove otherwise.
3. For Hizb ut Tahrir and the Muslims of Afghanistan, such allegations are not something unexpected and that the Afghan NDS is chasing its members and wants to arrest them. Many of our members are still in the prisons of Afghanistan for calling for Islam and Khilafah.
4. We would like to ask the NDS officials and especially those who are former Jihadis, are these the fruits of all the struggle and sacrifices of the people of Afghanistan against Soviet Union? Yesterday, it was Lenin and Stalin; and today Bordyuzha will command you to declare Muslims who are calling for Islam as terrorists and to arrest them!
5. If the Afghan Intelligence officials have an iota of feeling for Islam left in them, they should arrest the criminal ruling elite of Afghanistan who are implementing Kufr upon the people of Afghanistan, and are partner in crimes with the crusaders, are making Haram as Halal, encouraging vulgarity and obscenity, legalizing Riba, creating rift and divisions between the Muslims of Afghanistan, killing innocent civilians, raiding houses and paving ways for Capitalism to spread in our society, and not the sincere members of Hizb ut Tahrir who are calling for the establishment of Khilafah.
