Govt constitutes probe teams for legal action against Zakir Naik
Following the Centre’s tough stand on Islamic preacher Zakir Naik’s controversial comments on terrorism, nine teams from the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and other agencies are scanning the former’s activities, while special teams are scanning every footage of his speeches.
According to sources from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), four teams have been constituted to scan the video footages and CDs of Naik’s speeches and three teams are scanning social sites, while two teams are monitoring his Facebook posts.
According to initial investigation, it has been found that Naik’s speeches are provocative, objectionable and so is his writing. Besides, his NGO’s operations have also been branded as suspicious.
It has also been found that the funds sent for his ‘charitable activities’ are being misused and the MHA is also examining his Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) funding clearance and irregularities.
Besides his phone calls and e-mails, the sponsors for his foreign trips and meeting are also under the scanner of the NIA.
Sources further state that Naik may be banned soon and the Centre has sought fresh legal opinion regarding the controversial preacher.
The government is most likely gearing up to make a strong legal case against Naik.
