The Zakir Naik issue has sparked a debate among Muslims, creating a “vertical division” in the community on whether his preachings are right or wrong, and this “unwarranted” development may lead to law and problems, says Abid Rasool Khan, Chairman of State Minorities Commission, serving Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
He said the Muslim community on Wednesday has two views on Naik, with half of them saying his preachings are right and the rest contending he is wrong.
The controversial Islamic preacher, whose speeches allegedly inspired some of the militants involved in the Dhaka carnage, is currently facing multiple probes.
