New Delhi, Nov 15: The government today decided to declare an NGO promoted by Islamic orator Dr Zakir Naik as an outlawed organisation under the anti-terror law for five years for its alleged terror activities.
The decision has been taken at a meeting of the Union Cabinet presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Cabinet approved a proposal to declare Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) as an 'unlawful association' under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act for five years, a Home Ministry official said.
A formal notification will be issued by the Home Ministry soon. The move comes after investigation by the Home Ministry found the NGO was allegedly having dubious links with Peace TV, an international Islamic channel, accused of propagating terrorism, the official said.
According to the Home Ministry, Naik, who heads the IRF, has allegedly made many provocative speeches and engaged in terror propaganda.
Maharashtra Police has also registered criminal cases against Naik for his alleged involvement in radicalisation of youths and luring them into terror activities, officials said.
However, the government and security agencies have so far failed to openly produce any evidence for allegations made against Dr Zakir Naik, who has openly condemned all forms of terrorism.
An educational trust run by Naik have already been prevented from receiving foreign funds and agencies are looking into their activities.
He came under the scanner of the security agencies after Bangladeshi newspaper 'Daily Star' reported that one of the perpetrators of the July 1 terror attack in Dhaka, Rohan Imtiaz, ran propaganda on Facebook last year quoting Naik.
Addressing Kannadiga delegates from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and other countries through a video conference, Dr Narayan also assured that necessary steps will be taken by the Karnataka government to provide free quarantine facility for those who cannot afford private quarantine in hotels or guest houses. The video conference was organised by coastaldigest.com.

Hindu leaders are afraid of their population going down as people following the true God.... then who will support their party? How will they gain votes....anyhow Islam is growing and growing as much People try to defame it.......can any mai ka laal can say no and prove it....
Why the BD, VHP RSS all these are not banned. They are openly making provocative speaches. Mr. Zakir Naik has never done provocative speaches. But the people like thogadia and many more are creating lot of tensions among people. This also should be equally done.
Allahumma Aizzal Islama wal Muslimeen, Wa azillal kufra wal kafireen,
Ya Allah protect the ummath of prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H).And save us from the Kufr of the Kafiroon.
Still if we muslims don't get United they will ban Nikah,5 Times prayer, Zakath.
very good decision .. love u modi ...he supported bin laden .... he backed terrorism .. he encouraged love jihad.. bholo bharath mata ki jai... hara hara modi ... jai jai modi .
i heard that zakir naik followers are not celebrating their prophet birthday!!!!!!!
if they are not happy in their own religion then its better to ban all over the universe.. what you say guys?
After 9/11 many reverted to Islam, the same will happen now.
No evidence is produced so far, It is not possible because, he speaks very carefully the truth, that is also without hurting others.
This is their BIASED ruling, they can do anything. Now all specially Hindus will start studying ISLAM and will accept it.
In history many DECEIVERS had temporary happiness.. and they thought they have victory by using the power wrongly ... Time is running and it will end your power too and dont think this evil power will be for eternity...
We will see INSHAA ALLAH (God willing) how your evil power will collapse..
As expected, there is a hidden conspiracy behind it these people are thinking that they can prevent spreading of Islam by this type of drama, Allah need no organization to spread his deen,
ALLEGED terror activities... Still not proven and will never be proved..
\And the disbelievers planned, but Allah planned. Allah is the best of Planners\" Holy Quran: 3:54
I request entire believers not to be panic, everything is moving as per Allah's direction.
Please don't spread rumors, don't be a part of any unlawful activities, don't be panic. Please help the needy irrespective of caste and creed, give your best for the sake of Allah. Whoever does corruption on the face of earth for him a great torment of Allah is waiting. This is Allah's promise. Ya Allah protect your believing slaves from all types of tests & trials, give us patience, give us the strength to face the trials of this world, Aameen. Please make dua for entire believing brothers and sisters of this world."
Good move by government ... so many muslim brothers are saved from brainwashing NGO...
hopefully people will coordinate with government and stops funding this unlawfull NGO
don't worry Dr. Zakir naik Allah is with you. you are not first person who faced such acts of kaafir but take patience and keep trust.
May Allah subhana bless you and our prayer is with you
very sad part is without understanding anything our own religious people making fun of you and celebrating this as their victory..may Allah guide them
A very good decision from Namo.
This is one of the scripted hidden agenda of the communal govt. which was fabricated through Dhaka blast to reach this day. VHP and RSS are two giant terrorist organizations getting foreign funds to create instabilities still at large for years.
Insha Allah IRF will fight legal battle to overcome it.
