Dhaka's interest 

The slight looking, yet forceful Naik has been under the scanner of Indian law requirement powers as far back as Bangladesh requested an examination concerning his talks and his composition taking after a case that a terrorist was his devotee, and was roused by his discourses to complete the assault.

"In the event that he needed to spread scorn, why might he even discuss the shared characteristics?" 

Conceived in October 1965 in Mumbai, Dr. Naik went to the Kishinchand Chellaram College in Churchgate, and later considered pharmaceutical at Topiwala National Medical College, and BYL Nair Charitable Hospital. 

In 1991, he started Da'wah, which truly implies converting of Islam. Dr. Naik then established the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) propelled by Ahmed Deedat, an Islamic minister who met him in 1987.

In 2010, the U.K. banished him passage for his asserted "inadmissible conduct." Peace TV is banned in India, yet a few neighborhood link administrators keep on showing it. 

Dr. Naik's attorneys claim there is no offense to be made out. "In the event that he has discussed Osama canister Laden in one of the discourses that in itself does not constitute a charge or offense against him. In the event that one plane [in Bangladesh] says he was enlivened by Dr. Naik's talks, in what capacity would he be able to be considered responsible," said Dr. Naik's legal counselor Mubin Solkar of Solkar and Associates.
