Naik address press con via Skype, rejects allegations against him
He said suicide bombings targeting innocent people are condemnable.
"I did not inspire any terrorist," Naik said.
Naik said he 'knowingly' never met any militant.
He, who is currently in Medina, said his statements made on terrorism and suicide bombing was 'doctored and tampered'.
Amid facing heat over charges that he inspired some of the Dhaka cafe attackers which killed 22 people earlier this month, Naik addressed the press conference on Friday.
Bangladesh on Sunday banned his channel Peace TV after the MIB took it down two days ago.
Though his involvement in the attack has not been established yet, his speeches are believed to have incited at least two attackers.
