Modi govt asks Malaysia to extradite Dr Zakir Naik: Report

News Network
March 31, 2018

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.

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 ?

Bengaluru, Jun 11: Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Thursday allowed the Opposition Congress party's newly elected state president DK Shivakumar to have a formal swearing-in function.

He told media, “I have spoken to Shivakumar and informed him to conduct the event after taking precautionary measures against the spread of the COVID-19 disease”.

The move came after the state government received flak from the main Opposition Congress leaders, for refusing to permit the newly elected State Congress president to have a formal swearing-in function take reigns from his predecessor Dinesh Gundu Rao.

Bengaluru, Apr 7: Former Minister and Leader of the Opposition Siddaramiah on Tuesday termed the shutting by private clinics in the state by doctors as an 'inhuman act'.

Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, the Congress leader said due to the fear of Novel Coronavirus, the doctors have closed their private clinics, which was against their profession.

This has affected the people, especially those, who are suffering from other deceases. He urged Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to intervene and resolve the issue immediately.

Despite the government instructions not to close down their clinics, the doctors have not been responding positively, Mr Siddaramaiah noted.

In this connection, the government should act seriously and give necessary warning to the doctors, to either open their clinics to serve the people, or face action, he added.
