Pakistani political experts oppose
Islamabad (Pakistan) – Zakir Naik, who is the role model for Jihadi terrorists and a ‘most wanted’ criminal for India, is currently on a tour of Pakistan. He was given a grand welcome there by the Pakistani Government. He will stay in Pakistan till October 28 and participate in various programmes. He has appealed to all Muslims to unite against India’s proposed Waqf Board Amendment Bill. Journalists and political experts in Pakistan have criticised the reception of Zakir Naik by the Government though. They have questioned why Zakir is being given so much importance when he is not the head of any country or a prominent personality at the international level.

Editorial PerspectivePakistan is giving red-carpet treatment to Naik only because he is an enemy to India and consequently, Pakistan’s friend ! What steps will the Indian Government take to teach Pakistan, which rubs salt on India’s wounds, a lessor for life, and to take Naik into custody ? |
‘Millions of Hindus in India consume beef’: Zakir Naik’s lieDuring a programme in Islamabad, a media representative asked Zakir if Indian Muslims should follow beef ban imposed by the Indian Government. Zakir replied, “I have a personal opinion and an Islamic opinion on this. Islamic Sharia requires you to follow the laws of the country you live in; but it should be verified whether that country is not against the rules of Allah and the Prophet. For example, if a country bans namaz, such law cannot be followed, because it is mandatory in Islam to perform namaz. The beef ban in India is a political issue. In fact, millions of Hindus in India consume beef.” |
