zakirmediaExpressing shock over the hate campaign, false allegations and media trial against him in the wake of recent terrorist attack in Dhaka, Dr Zakir Naik, the most sought after Islamic orator, has issued a written statement to the press reiterating that he never supported terrorism or violence in any form whatsoever.

Dr Naik had earlier planned for a press conference on Skype from Saudi Arabia. However, after a few major India TV channels tried to twist his recent statements, the 51-year-old orator, who founded the Islamic Research Foundation in 1991, changed his mind and released the written statement.

Read Dr Zakir Abdul Karim Naik's full statement below:

“According to me, the media is the most important weapon in the world. It can convert a hero into villain or even a villain into a hero.

I'm shocked at the media trial on me regarding the recent terrorist attack that took place in Dhaka Bangladesh on 1st July 2016. Most of the clips shown on the television of myself are either out of context, half statements or doctored. So are my statements in the print media.

I would have loved to give interviews whether for television channels or for the print media, but I fear that most of them will not publish it unedited or without twisting it. I came to this conclusion after I had given a few interviews, most of which were unfortunately mutilated and misutilised to serve the vested agenda of the channel or the newspaper.

If time permits, God willing, in the next few days I will give replies to some of the major allegations on video and give it to the media as well as put it up on social media as well as other public platforms so that the original answers are also available if the media misutilises it.

So far not a single official Indian government agency has contacted me for any clarification regarding this issue. It would be my pleasure to cooperate with any official Indian government investigation agency for any information they might require from me.

In conclusion, I repeat what I have always maintained – I DO NOT SUPPORT TERRORISM OR VIOLENCE in any form whatsoever. I have never supported any terrorist organisations and have mentioned this over and over again in thousands of my public talks worldwide. I STRONGLY CONDEMN anyone taking my statements out of context and using it for VIOLENCE OF ANY FORM.”

Yours Sincerely,

Dr Zakir Naik

Modi, Vajpeyee & Advani inspired several karsevaks to go for suicide mission to demolish Babri Masjid why not prosecute them?

Smrithi irani inspired Rohit vemula to do suicide why is she roaming free?

Thakre inspired several Shiv sena to kill Muslims in Bombay why they are not banned yet?

The attack on zakir bhai were preplanned by idol worshipper and darghah guys. There is no difference between this group.

When Media publishing the false story on Zakir Bhai, These assholes were enjoying most. Because of Zakir Bhai people were moving from darghah committee to right path.

Dargha Worshippers more dangerous than chaddi guys. Zakir Bhai indirectly forcing them to close their dargha shop.

Indian media belongs to the follower of fake god. Nothing wrong with the publishing false story, because they are born to spread false and poisonous in the peoples mind.

Zakir Naik has become more famous than before. Most of Non-muslims watched his video and very soon they will accept Islam, insha allah.

Sometime negative mind helps to spread Islam.Masha Allah

Dear Viren,
Mr.Gooswami asking every ones passport in is interviews who counter his questions. Goverment took passport from Mr. Mallya what happened? Any Benefit? They could not touch him. Also he is enjoying in UK. Why gooswami is not activating hastag for this? Why this Gooswami didn't ask govt to take passport from Mr.ved prakash whom all the media shown enjoying with Hafiz saeed? Why our PM attendeded function of the Pakistam PM suddenly when they are sponsoring the terrorism in India? Why Gooswami didn't ask explanation? Why there is no Hastaq#? Why he didn't ask passport of Maharastra minster Khadse who is having link with Dawood? Can you answer? This shows how the media is working? This exposes Gooswami.

All sincere & honest people will stand with Dr Zakir Naik irrespective of any religion they belong to. People must condemn and take stringest action against all Indian medias for maligning innocent people's name and fame to meet their agendas. Media is one of the main reason for increase of terrorist attacks. True muslim will never ever suport any form of terrorism as it is completely against Islam. Any terrorist who is involved in any kind of terror activities should be given capital punishment to have peace in the society.

Whatever Power, Wealth, Strength, manpower the enemies USE .... it is nothing in the sight of the CREATOR who created all that exists... (Insha ALLAH - God willing) ALLAH will give ZAKIR, a Victory over this DECEPTION of Indian MEDIA... (Cut past, display information)
Zakir naik is preaching the CREATOR's message to the masses who have fallen into darkness by worshiping idols and other man made objects... He asks the people to think and ponder on what he says...
The public should use their intellect honestly to PONDER on it... Life is not just a play... The CREATOR wants us to recognize his CREATION and ZAKIR naik is enlightening it to the masses with his research and proofs... which is mentioned in the QURAN... A guidance to MANKIND not just MUSLIMS...
THINK, PONDER, RESEARCH before U JUDGE.

Action against Dr. Zakir Naik is nothing else but, a conspiracy by RSS. Because of his popularity, the ability to convince people about misconceptions etc., People change their faith for better. Some openly and some in their minds.
Only this is pricking those who are so called protectors of religion.
They just want to nail him on the pretext of terrorism, conversion or black money laundering etc., Anything.

In the wake of Saudi Arabia's assurance that Masjid al-Haram of Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi of Madinah will be opened for believers after some days, a message has gone viral on social media claiming that both the holy mosques will open on Ramadan 8 (May 1).

The message which was widely circulated on Facebook and WhatsApp, also contained certain condition such as people should fetch their own prayer mats and that they should not use the washrooms in the mosques. 

Clarification

Meanwhile, the authorities of the two holy mosques, issued a clarification that the claims made in the viral post are false and baseless.

"The message being circulated about the opening date for Haramiain (two holy mosques) for public is completely baseless and false. The suspension of prayers for general public is still in effect," they said in a social media post.

Bengaluru, Mar 4: CM BS Yediyurappa may reconsider plans to hike taxes and curtail populist schemes in his budget on Thursday as the Centre released part of GST compensation it owes the state. Officials said the Centre released the first instalment of the bimonthly compensation for October-November amounting to Rs 2,013 crore.

"This is welcome relief as the government has been scrambling to mobilise funds," said BT Manohar, member of GST consultative committee, government of Karnataka. The second instalment of Rs 1,523 crore is also expected to be released soon.

The CM, in his seventh budget, is expected keep the focus firmly on farmers and give top priority to irrigation, agriculture and welfare schemes.

The irrigation sector is expected to land the lion's share with an allocation of at least Rs 25,000 crore, followed by agriculture. Former CM Kumaraswamy had allocated over Rs 17,000 crore for water resources.

The bulk of funds is likely to go to the Upper Krishna (UKP) and Upper Bhadra projects, as it will help backward Kalyana Karnataka and central Karnataka regions. The two are also significant political blocs. The government will also seek assistance from the Centre for the UKP project in the erstwhile Hyderabad-Karnataka region, which enjoys special status under the Constitution owing to its backwardness. P4

Yediyurappa is also expected to spell out populist schemes for the poor.

Former CM HD Kumaraswamy had allocated Rs 17,212 crore in the previous budget for water resources and Yediyurappa is likely to go well beyond that figure. "Priority will be given to irrigation and farmers," Yediyurappa had said recently. "I am making efforts to present a budget within the financial constraints."

he amounts are released once every two months, but the Centre had fallen behind on payments. PX

"There are indications that another payment will be made."

The state's optimism stems from the fact that the Centre's GST collection crossed the Rs 1 lakh crore-mark for four successive months till February.

However, the CM could still hike tax rates marginally. At a pre-budget meet on resource mobilisation where Yediyurappa is learnt to have expressed willingness to borrow funds, officials from the finance department advocated raising tax rates instead.

New Delhi, Jul 3: Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) in Karnataka have emerged as a "crucial pillar in the state's success" in combating Covid-19, the Union Health Ministry said on Friday.

Acknowledging and praising their work, the ministry said they have been actively participating in household surveys in the state, screening inter-state passengers, migrant workers and others in the community for symptoms of the infection,

“Around 42,000 ASHAs have emerged as a crucial pillar in the state's success” in combating Covid-19, the ministry said.

"Recognizing the increased vulnerability of certain population groups to Covid-19, in a one-time survey to identify households with the elderly, persons with co-morbidities, and immune-compromised individuals, about 1.59 crore households were covered," the ministry said in a statement.

ASHAs regularly monitor such high-risk groups in their area with a periodicity of follow-up visits varying from once a day in the containment zones to once every 15 days in other areas, it said.

They also visit the houses of persons complaining influenza-like-illness (ILI) symptoms and severe acute respiratory infections (SARI), besides high-risk individuals who have called the state health department helpline numbers, the ministry said.

ASHAs are a part of the Rural Task Force, headed by Panchayat Development Officer (PDO) at the Gram Panchayat level, for addressing public grievances on both Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 related services.

ASHAs are trained female community health activists selected from the village itself and accountable to it. They are trained to work as an interface between the community and the public health system.

In the urban areas too, they have been at the forefront of dissemination of various awareness activities in fever clinics and swab collection centres in urban areas.

They have also actively screened cases of ILI and SARI in urban areas. They are also part of the screening teams at international and interstate check-posts.

Karnataka has reported 272 Covid-19 deaths and 18,016 cases, according to the health ministry data updated at 8 AM.
