KOLKATA: Hizb-Ut Tahrir (HUT), a Bangladeshi group which is under scanner of Indian intelligence agencies for a probable terror attack on 23 places on January 23, in its press release issued on January 21 has stated that the organisation based in Bangladesh is a non-violent political organisation and has no links with any terror group. It claimed that it has no intention to carry out "bomb and suicide attacks" inside India.
The media office of Hizb ut Tahrir strongly denounced such claims by Indian agencies and described it as 'false, fabricated and malicious attempt to malign HUT.'
Moreover, it claimed that the party does not have any armed wing anywhere the party operates.
HUT also runs a radio station.
Earlier this month, Indian agencies had intercepted a message from which it raised alert for 23 places, including Dakshineswar temple and Jibilee railway bridge in Bengal. But HUT described the probable terror attack in India by HUT as a bogus claim by Indian agencies.
It clearly mentioned in the press release that it has no links with any major Indian terror outfits like Indian Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba or Jaish-e-Mohammad.
However, Bangladesh officials said that HUT is a banned organisation for its fundamentalist activities and even its website has even blocked by the Bangladesh government. However, it has now changed its website.
