Media can convert a hero into villain: Read Dr Zakir Naik's full statement

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.

Mangaluru, Jan 19: ‘Ride For Rotary’ convoy of motor vehicles was flagged off from Hotel Ocean Pearl Inn at Bejai-Kapikad, Mangaluru on Sunday, 19th January, 2020 at 9.00 a.m. Rotary district governor Joseph Mathew flagged off the event along with Assistant Governors Sumith S. Rao, Geethanand Pai and Ritesh Baliga. The riders headed for Puttur after topping up their fuel tanks at Lady Hill Petrol Pump.

2019-20 Ride For Rotary includes 28 motorbikes and 5 cars. 38 Rotarians from 14 countries are participating, in this, the fourth edition of the event. They will traverse through Madikeri, Mysore, Wayanad, Ooty, Coimbatore, Munnar, Thekkady and Allepey before terminating at Kochi on 29th of January, 2020. The participating nationalities are India, Norway, Sweden, Canada, France, Germany, USA, UK, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Poland and Belgium. They belong to ages 21 to 78, with 78-year old Otto Rieve from Canada being the senior most enthusiast. Swiss national of Indian origin Raj Patholi and Mangalorean Abraham Zacharias are among the riders. 

Mangalore was chosen as the starting point for the convoy route this year which will cover Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. On the eve of the event, the organizers hosted a gala dinner for the riders at Citi Beech, Bolar. The riders were given a glimpse of the traditional dance forms and were treated to some wonderful songs in Tulu and Kannada along with local coastal cuisine.

They were also given a glimpse of the major service projects undertaken in our district by Rotary, such as the Rotary Blood Bank on Wheels, the Physiotherapy Clinic at Wenlock Hospital, the Schools adopted by Rotary and the Ashrams and Villages that are being served by Rotary. The idea behind this is to see that riders carry these memories and think of helping Rotarians in India through their matching contributions for future service projects.

How soon we get a coronavirus vaccine depends on not only the pace of work in research labs, but also the preparedness of factories supplying glass vials, stoppers and syringes

Mangaluru, June 13:  The Central Crime Branch of Bengaluru City Police, which is digging up old cases involving underworld gangster Ravi Pujari, has now launched a fresh probe into the murder of human rights lawyer Naushad Kashimji.

Kashimji was gunned down on April 9, 2009 at the basement of his apartment in Falnir in Mangaluru. Ravi Pujari had allegedly ordered the hit. 

As part of investigation, a team from Benglauru CCB has come to Mangaluru. CCB sleuths, who obtained Pujari’s police custody in connection with this case, are tying up the loose ends pertaining to the murder of Kashimji who was representing D-Company hitman Abdul Rashid Hassan Malbari aka Malbari. 

Pujari was said to be unhappy over Kashimji representing Malbari. Pujari had also allegedly issued life threats, directing him to desist from doing so.

Kashimji had reportedly received more than 10 international threat calls from March 30 to April 9 (the day he was murdered). According to a senior police officer, the advocate had not informed the police or his then senior Purushottam Poojary about receiving the threat calls. “This came to light when police went through his call records later,” the officer explained.

“CCB team is primarily focusing on Pujari’s role in the advocate’s sensational murder,” a senior CCB officer handling the investigating said. 

“We have also lined up other cases in which Pujari is allegedly involved, but had filed the chargesheet against him in absentia as he was then a fugitive,” the officer added. The team is now picking up threads of Pujari’s involvement cases in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Chikkamagaluru districts.

Pujari, currently in police custody in Bengaluru, is accused in more than 30 cases reported in Mangaluru from 2007 to 2018. Majority of the cases against Pujari pertain to extortion and extending death threats, one relating to murder, three to shootings/ abduction and one where he supplied money to his henchmen in prison. Police have filed ‘C’ report in 17 out of 28 threat call cases and ‘B’ report in one case. Rest are in different stages of trial.
