Naik bringing people from various faiths to Islam: Abu Azmi

TIL Desk/National/Mumbai-Islamic preacher Zakir Naik is “defamed” because he is bringing people from various faiths to Islam, Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi today said while demanding a ban on Sanatan Sanstha for “causing terror” in lives of secular-minded individuals.

Naik is under scanner following reports that his alleged “provocative” speeches had inspired some of the militants who carried out Bangladesh’s worst terror attack in a cafe in capital Dhaka on July 1.

“Zakir Naik is being defamed by those who are jealous of his work of bringing people from various religions under the ambit of Islam through constitutional and peaceful way of delivering sermons,” Azmi, who heads state unit of SP, told.
