Police deployed at Mumbai office of Dr Zakir Naik as precautionary measure

July 7, 2016

Mumbai, Jul 7: Police have been deployed outside the city office of a foundation run by internationally acclaimed orator and advocate of peace, Dr Zakir Naik, who is in news after a section of media tired to drag his name into recent Bangladesh terror attack case. MUMBAI-POLICE

A senior Mumbai Police official said security personnel have been deployed outside Dr Naik's 'Islamic Research Foundation' office at Dongri area in South Mumbai, as a precautionary measure in the wake of the recent developments.

"We have neither received any threat perception nor particular instructions from the state or Central government. We have deployed our forces only as a precautionary measure to avoid any untoward incident," the official said.

He, however, parried question on whether Mumbai Police has received any particular information or instruction to share some inputs on Dr Naik.

"There is nothing as such. This is something which is being handled at the state and Central government level. But as a law enforcing agency, we are keeping a close eye on the situation," the official said.

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju had yesterday told reporters in Delhi that, "Zakir Naik's speech is a matter of concern for us. Our agencies are working on this. But as a minister, I will not comment what action will be taken."

Bangladeshi newspaper 'Daily Star' had reported that militant Rohan Imtiaz, son of an Awami League leader, ran a propaganda on Facebook last year quoting Dr Naik. The report falsely claimed that Dr Naik urged all Muslims to be terrorists.

Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant yesterday said he had written to the Union Home Minister, demanding a ban on Dr Naik and Islamic Research Foundation, in the country's interest.

Whole world including communal India worried and scared Zakir Naik since Europe, Western people are converting Islam through Zakir Naiks's preach. They really inspired by Zakir Naik.
When Bush terms, converting rate is gone sky rocket and Modi Govt. scared that rate since whenever they go against Muslims, more non-Muslims get converting. So it's an attempt to avoid. God is the best planner.

News Network

January 4,2020

Alappuzha, Jan 4: The management committee of a mosque in Kerala is all set to solemnize the wedding of a Hindu couple, setting yet another instance of the communal harmony prevailing in Kerala.

The Cheravally Muslim Jamaat Committee at Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district in South Kerala is conducting the marriage of Anju and Sharath after the bride's mother approached the Jamaat authorities seeking help.

The marriage will be held at the mosque premises on January 19 as per Hindu rituals and the Jamaat Committee has also prepared the invitations.

Anju's father Ashokan died a few years back and her mother Bindhu was struggling to win bread for her three children. Nujumudeen Alummoottil, a businessman and secretary of the Jamaat had helped the family earlier also.

Hence Bindu sought his help for the marriage of Anju. Nujumudeen discussed it with other members of the Jamaat committee and members of the mosque.

Najumudeen said that there was no hesitation from anyone on conducting the marriage by the mosque at its premises. A gift in cash and gold would be also given to the couple.

Kerala recently witnessed a church allowing the Muslim believers who participated in an anti-CAA meet to offer namaz at the church premises and another church conducting a carol service with the youth of the parish dressed up in traditional Muslim attire.

Well educated, good decision makers , intelects and wise people are keralites.

Kerala is unique in India for cordial relation between different religions. However, this is not being digested by sanghis and are trying to build gulf between the communities. I am sure that people will not let theese anti national succeed in their wicked behaviour. This communal harmoney is a slap on the faces of enemies of society. Well done keralites. Salute to all of you.
