Modi govt renews foreign funding licence of IRF; then suspends 4 officers

New Delhi, Sep 2: Four home ministry officials, including joint secretary of the foreigners division G K Dwivedi, have been suspended for the renewal of the foreign funding licence of Islamic preacher Dr Zakir Naik's Islamic Research Foundation (IRF).

zakirThe renewal of the licence embarrassed the Centre as it came even as agencies are trying their best to slap terror charges against Dr Naik in the wake of a massive hate campaign against him.

"The MHA has suspended four officers, including Dwivedi and three officers below him. A departmental inquiry is being ordered against him to find out if there was any mala fide intention behind renewal of registration of IRF under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, 2010 (FCRA). Action will be taken accordingly," said an MHA official.

Home ministry officers said it is highly unlikely that the file regarding licence renewal for IRF, being scanned not only for possible FCRA violations but also for alleged forced conversions was cleared in a moment of oversight.

"The government and its security agencies are weighing the option of declaring IRF an 'unlawful' organisation under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, and the foreigners division brass decides to renew its FCRA licence. This could well be an intentional act and not a plain goof-up," said an officer.

Incidentally, the MHA had last month sent a standard questionnaire to IRF seeking foreign funding details. An IRF spokesperson was quoted on Thursday by a private news channel as saying that the NGO's licence had been renewed last week and that it had replied to the MHA questionnaire.

Zakir naik quotes from Vedas \NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI\"... there is no image of God... (I found out its truly mentioned in VEDAS and to my shocking there is severe punishment for idol worshipers in VEDAS)

IF U use your intellect... then U will agree with him and U will stay away to get God's blessing rather than making your own idol and worshiping the Stone.
ZN spoke the truth and it is your ego that U dont want to follow the VEDAS which mentions NA TASYA PrATIMA ASTI...
Worship the CREATOR and not Man made Creations.."

Venki, first can you show any one of his video where he hates any of the holy book of any religion. He says people are not following the religion. Did you read veda? It says not to perform Idol worship. But do we follow? No. Same thing he says. If some one of our community person is doing wrong , we need to show him the mistake. But our community leaders are not doing this. Instead they show others who shows our mistake as wrong. If person is psycho, he never understand this.

Dear Venki,

Don't blame any one without proof. Please follow own books instaed of hating other religion. I have gone thorh his speaches after these blames. What he says true. He says follow your holy books. What is wrong in this?
