MUMBAI: Indian police officials were deployed outside the office of Islamic preacher and scholar Zakir Naik on Thusrday, Times of India reported.

The Daily Star, a Bangladeshi newspaper, earlier reported that Rohan Imtiaz, one of the five suspected militants involved in the recent Dhaka bloodbath, ran a propaganda campaign on Facebook last year quoting Naik's speech on Peace TV.

Indian Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju earlier this week said "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," according to an Indian Express report.

Security personnel have been deployed outside Naik's Islamic Research Foundation office in Mumbai as a 'precautionary measure', a senior Mumbai police official said.

"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," he said.

Naik, who has in the past advocated that "every Muslim should be a terrorist", was banned from entry into the United Kingdom in 2010.

Talk about taking statements completely out of context and in your blind hatred trying to demonize an individual with your biased treachery and deceit, exceptional journalism.

Dr Zakir Naik: "Every Muslim should be a terrorist. A terrorist is a person who causes terror. The moment a robber sees a policeman he is terrified. A policeman is a terrorist for the robber. Similarly every Muslim should be a terrorist for the antisocial elements of society, such as thieves, dacoits and rapists..."

Really? And he runs a tv channel called "Peace TV"

Not his fault because you know nothing about him and form your opinions from biased journalism and you already pre-determined blind hatred on Islam.

Your comprehension skills are very poor, or you dont read the article at all.

Police are not taking action against him, rather they are protecting him in this tense situation.

My comprehension skills are fine. I know the debate that is nowadays taking place on Indian media to ban Zakir Naik. That is why the previous post.

Request came from foolish BD govt and hindutva Indian media used it as an opportunity to ban Zakir Naik. Typical.

UK bans Zakir naik but does nothing about Anjum Chaudhry.

yup and Canada as well

He publicly speak against other religions. I just watched a video in which he mocked Hindu Gods and even Buddhists in other video (Hardly knew him before his name appeared in Dhaka attack). As per India Constitution, you can preach your own religion but can't mock others.....

PS: Its enough to lodge a case against him.

Indian police should provide her protection.

Come on Areesh, don't come to this logic. Even talibani mullahs are big fan of bollywood but its their ideological leaders who are chased and not don of bollywood Amitabh Bacchan. Cut it.

In similar BD attacker was fan of Zakir Naik. I am yet to see Zakir Naik supporting ISIS etc. In fact he said following about ISIS.

Thats fine, there is no police action on him yet.

Since his name has emerged, his speeches are being studied and decision will be taken on based of findings. He has been banned in many countries so its not that he is purest of all, atleast an study on him can be done.

For now police has only provided protection to his office.

Much ado about nothing....at this point.
