The central government expressed disappointment and condemnation over Islamic preacher Zakir Naik’s visit to Pakistan, where he was warmly welcomed. Naik, wanted in India for hate speech and terror-related charges, is set to deliver lectures across major Pakistani cities, highlighting his controversial background and ongoing legal issues. Naik, 58, is the founder of the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF). A doctor by profession, he is known for delivering inflammatory lectures in English, unlike many other Islamic preachers who use Urdu or Arabic.
