New Delhi/IBNS: Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Wednesday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to clarify whether Islamic preacher Zakir Naik's claims that the Centre offered a safe passage to him in return for support on scrapping of Article 370 was correct.

The Congress leader also shared a video where the Islamic preacher claimed that a representative of the Centre approached him and offered safe passage to India in return for support to abrogation of Article 370.

Singh said if Modi and Shah fail to give a proper clarification that it will be understood that naik's claims are true.

The controversial preacher Naik is wanted in India on charge of money laundering.

The 'tele-evangelist' is alleged to have influenced Bangladeshi youths in 2016.

He left India in 2016 and moved to Malaysia.
