Putrajaya, Jul 6: Rubbishing the reports of Indian media as baseless, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on Friday clarified that physician-turned-preacher Dr Zakir Naik, who claims that he is being targeted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government, will not be extradited to India.

Zakir Naik, an NRI, never visited India after Indian media began a hate campaign against him in 2016. According to reports, New Delhi asked for him to be extradited in January. The two countries have an extradition treaty.

"As long as he is not creating any problem, we will not deport him because he has been given permanent residency status," Mahathir said at a news conference in administrative capital Putrajaya outside Kuala Lumpur, when asked about the reports.

The Indian agencies had asked for Dr Naik to be sent back for allegedly inciting youth to engage in terror activities via hate speeches.

Dr Naik, 52, has described the media reports as "totally baseless and false", adding that he has no plans to return to India until he felt "safe from unfair prosecution".

Neither Indian nor Malay officials have confirmed the extradition request or the existence of any charges again Dr Naik.

Bengaluru, May 30: Health Minister B Sriramulu banned the consumption of chewing tobacco in public places on Saturday, which is marked as World Tobacco Day. The ban would include chewing paan masala and spitting in public places.

In June 2013, the state banned the manufacture, storage, sale, or distribution of gutka and paan masala containing tobacco or nicotine as ingredients to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use. On October 26, 2016, the state proscribed all kinds of chewing tobacco, containing tobacco or nicotine or both in accordance with the Supreme Court order.
