The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government of India has reportedly sought extradition of Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, against whom Indian media ran a prolonged campaign last year, from Malyasia.
The external affairs ministry has sent a request for Naik's extradition to the Malaysian authorities after the NIA completed all formalities including collection of evidence, filing of charge-sheet, a news paper reported.
A court in Kuala Lumpur is likely to hear India’s request. The development comes at a time when Malaysia, where Naik has taken refuge, has already said it is ready to extradite him.
Malaysian deputy PM Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had said in November 2017 that Naik will be extradited if a request is sent by the Indian government under the mutual legal assistance treaty.
In a chargesheet filed on October 26, 2017, NIA had claimed that Dr Zakir Naik insulted religious beliefs of Hindus, Christians and Islamic sects like Shia, Sufi and Barelvi, and his speeches influenced recruits to join Islamic State, a charge rubbished by the preacher.
A special NIA court has already taken cognizance of the chargesheet, in which Naik has been charged under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, criminal conspiracy and promoting enmity among different religious groups.

its not targeting the scholar ...
its targeting ISLAM
its targeting the TRUTH
its targeting the blind faith from knowing the TRUTH.
its targeting to blind the knowledge of oneness of God (Na tasya Pratima Asti)
In the past there were many who targetted, but Alhamdullillah (Thanks to ALLAH) ISLAM is still ALIVE and No one can white wash it even if they have all the temporary powers they get from the Almighty. Non Muslims should read (thequranproject) online to learn about the POWERFUL ALMIGHTY ALLAH who is the CREATOR of all that EXISTS.... its time to Recognize OUR CREATOR and reject the FASLEHOOD (Manmade gods) that will be the TRUE SUCCESS in this world and the Hereafter.
When he became terrorist.
So how many riots/bomb blast took place after his speech.
O ho ! If the government can bring Zakir Naik to India, why the government can not bring Neerav modi, Lalit modi, Mehul choksi etc to India. (instead PM has friendship with them by meeting Neerav in Davos, appreciating Mehul choksi in a program etc). Is this not a partiality to target only muslims. Looting Thousands of Crores by so many guys and running away from India is not a matter at all for the goverment ?
This is totally injustice.. Targeting a scholar its not a good thing. Zakir Naik doing everything for the betterment of humanity
While barking about saffron terrorism you people should realise Islamic terrorism also. ZN spreading only hatred
Not Islamic preacher.. He is communal goon
Again started problem.. Such a communal minded man. He should not be free
Put him behind bar. He is just total waste for earth.
Why modi affraid of ZN
So what...! Handing over a terrorist is not a big issue. Modi govt asked because he is more concerned about safety of people
