Islamic preacher Zakir Naik’s father passes away

Asked about Zakir Naik skipping the funeral, his aide said, “He wasn’t able to attend. It was too short a time. He will soon be here to pay respects to his father.”

Zakir Naik’s Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), too, is under the radar of security agencies and will be soon banned under the anti-terror law.

According to an official source in the Union Home Ministry, IRF will be declared an ‘unlawful association’ under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act after investigations by the Home Ministry found it to be allegedly having dubious links with Peace TV, an international Islamic channel accused of propagating terrorism.
