Govt. orders probe in Zakir Naik's IRF fund
New Delhi, July 9 (IBNS): The central government has ordered a probe into Zakir Naik's Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) fund to check his alleged involvement in the Dhaka terror attack, reports said.
The televangelist's speech is believed to have motivated at least two young men involved in the attack.
"We have taken cognisance of Zakir Naik's speeches and have given necessary instructions for a probe. A thorough investigation will be done. CDs of his speeches are being examined. As far as government is concerned, we will not compromise on terrorism at any cost. Whatever is justified will be done," Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh was quoted as saying in the media.
Defending himself, Naik said, "There is not a single talk of mine where I encouraged one to kill another, whether Muslim or non-Muslim."
