On September 16 and 17, the Mandegar Daily Newspaper published a long and aggressive article on Hizb ut Tahrir, written by Khawaja Bashir Ahmad Ansari. Just two days later, the Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Afghanistan submitted an official Press Release and a response article, shedding light on the baseless accusations and assertions made in Ansari's article, to the newspaper's Editor in Chief, who had promised to publish the article in response to Ansari's. But after a few days, he denied publishing both Press Release and the article.

The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Afghanistan strongly denounces Mandegar Daily's one-sided policy and its discrimination against the Hizb. And we consider this newspaper as a sample of western media sanction policy against Hizb ut Tahrir. Even though, they are not committed to their baseless and deceptive slogans (free speech, independent media outlets...), they are rather engaged in the plots conspired by intelligence agencies against the Hizb. They are afraid of Hizb's growing influence throughout the country, where Hizb is able to expand its influence among university students, lecturers, politicians, people of influence and other educated spectrum, more than any other party.

Such plots are conspired against the Hizb in Afghanistan, where Hizb has been very successful in unveiling the fallacy of democracy and its fraudulent elections since many years. The Hizb has revealed to the Muslim people of Afghanistan that despite being Haram for anyone to participate in "democratic" elections, it has always been symbolic and deceptive and caused the miseries that the Muslim and Mujahid people of Afghanistan suffer. Therefore, the international and Afghan intelligence agencies consider the Hizb as the biggest obstacle to peoples' participation into the upcoming Presidential and Provincial Councils elections. Thus, the intelligence agencies, former Mujahedeen against USSR, who are currently engaged in American democracy and others are working hand-in-hand to shape the public opinion against Hizb ut Tahrir, in order to survive the rotten and fragile democratic system.

But due to Hizb's Dawah carriers' tireless efforts and strong arguments, it seems that similar to other man-made systems, democracy is also going to be buried in Afghanistan "the graveyard of empires". As Allah (swt) states in His Book:

‏بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ

"Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs." [al-Anbiya: 18]
