MUMBAI: (APP) Islamic scholar Dr Zakir Naik, who is the subject of multiple inquiries in India over allegedly ‘incendiary’ speeches, has said that he will not return to India this year, India’s NDTV channel reported.
“I am not running away,” the channel quoted him as saying while addressing a press conference through Skype. Based in Mumbai, but now in Saudi Arabia, the preacher said that it was always his intent to spend most of this year abroad and insisted that so far, no Indian official or agency has contacted him with queries.
