The Centre Government seems set to slap terror charges on Islamic Tv anchor Zakir Naik for motivating over 50 people accused in terrorism-related cases, while declaring his Islamic Research Foundation+ (IRF) as an "unlawful" organisation.
Top government sources said the two-pronged action plan against Islamic Tv anchor Zakir Naik, a popular Islamic missionary who has been accused of being the "inspiration" behind the Dhaka restaurant attack in July, has been worked out on the basis of scrutiny of his speeches.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which was given the task to scan Mr. Naik’s speeches, has already submitted a detailed report to the Home Ministry. “As far as NIA is concerned, it has given a detailed report to the MHA, it is on them to decide whether a case is made out against Naik or not,” said a senior NIA offici
Naik has not returned to India ever since a probe in the Dhaka cafe attack found his speeches to be the prime motivation of the jihadis who attacked the eatery in Bangladesh. Considering the situation, Naik is not likely to return to India soon.
Some of the terrorists who have recorded statements against Naik include Feroze Deshmukh, a former IRF employee arrested for his alleged role in the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul case; Qateel Ahmed Siddiqui, an Indian Mujahideen member murdered inside Pune's Yerwada prison in June 2012; and Afsha Jabeen, an alleged IS recruiter who was arrested in September 2015 on deportation from the UAE.
