Islamabad (Pakistan) – Anti-Hindu Islamic preacher Zakir Naik met former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz at their residence in Raiwind. Various topics were reportedly discussed in the meeting. Last week, former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Hafeez had also met Zakir Naik. Angry reactions are being expressed on social media about these meetings of anti-Hindu Zakir Naik.
Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Hafeez faces criticism
Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Hafeez shared pictures of his meeting with Zakir Naik on social media and wrote, ‘It was a pleasure meeting Zakir Naik’. Social media users have reacted strongly to Mohammad Hafeez’s post. One user wrote, ‘This is exactly why the Indian cricket team and the Indian Government are reluctant to visit Pakistan.’ Another user wrote, ‘When you welcome a terrorist, will India play in Pakistan?’
Zakir Naik is wanted by India. He is facing serious charges of money laundering, promoting fundamentalism, insulting Hindu Deities using foul language etc. Many have taken inspiration from his malicious Jihadi propaganda and carried out terrorist acts in India and other countries. Zakir Naik had visited Pakistan in October last year. At that time, Naik met Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
Editorial PerspectiveIt is no surprise that a terrorist like Zakir Naik is welcomed in Pakistan, a country based on hatred towards Hindu Dharma. |
