Sri Lanka cable TV operators block Zakir Naik’s Peace TV in wake of bombings

[DarkSeid]

Cable operators in Sri Lanka have also reportedly blocked controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik’s Peace TV, following the deadly bomb blasts on Easter Sunday which killed at least 250 people.

India and Bangladesh, too, had banned the channel as reports had suggested that terror group ISIS recruiters used the channel to allegedly brainwash the youth.

As per reports, two of the largest cable operators of the country had stopped airing Zakir Naik’s Peace TV. However, an official announcement regarding the development is yet to be made.

On Monday, the Indian National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested a man in Kerala, India, who is suspected to have links with the ISIS and who allegedly was a follower of the Sri Lanka blasts mastermind. The ISIS suspect, identified as 29-year-old Riyas Aboobacker alias Abu Dujana, a resident of Kerala’s Palakkad, had purportedly revealed to the probe officials that he had been following speeches and videos of Zakir Naik, and the alleged mastermind of Sri Lanka blasts Zahran Hashim.

Riyas was arrested for conspiring to commit a terrorist act, the NIA said, which nabbed him in connection with its investigation into the 2016 Islamic State module in Kasargod and Palakkad.

The controversial Islamic preacher Naik is being probed by Indian agencies since 2016 after the Centre banned his Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) organization for five years. Naik, who is being investigated for suspected links with terror organizations, is currently living in Malaysia to avoid arrest in India.

Meanwhile, the Islamic State (ISIS) group has claimed responsibility for the Sri Lanka bomb blasts, with its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi claiming in a recently released video that ISIS operatives had carried out the blasts in the island country to “avenge” ISIS’ losses in Syria.

However, the Sri Lankan government has blamed a local jihadi group National Thowheeth Jamaath (NTJ) for the bombings and believes that NTJ leader Zahran Hashim was the ringleader of the group that carried out the blasts on April 21.

Shame on them

 

[YeBeWarned]

I never heard Zakir naik Endorsing Suicide bombings or act of terrorism ?

 

[Respect4Respect01]

India hates Dr.Zakir Naik.

 

[YeBeWarned]

India hates Dr.Zakir Naik.

What it has anything to do with Sri Lanka banning him ?

 

[Respect4Respect01]

What it has anything to do with Sri Lanka banning him ?

maybe indians are requesting them to ban Dr.Zakir ? dr Zakir never supported terrorism so i don't see any other reason for them to do this.

 

[prashantazazel]

He insults other faiths. That's why people hate him.

One of them arrested in India for church attack is follower of Dr Zakir Naik. He himself admitted it.

The Bangladeshi terror attack was inspired by this clown naik.

 

[jetray]

Their country their rules, they will take steps which are good for them.

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

First Burqa van and now Zakir Naik ban.

SL going full fascist and Hindutva.

Zakir Naik is one of the most peaceful people on this planet, he has never endorsed terrorism and has always condemned terrorist attacks.

India has a bone to pick with him as Hindus were converting because of his debates and talks. He debates religions on the the base of their texts and proves Islam correct. He accepts a challenge from anyone.

If you don’t have guts to face him in debate, ofcourse you will try to silence him like India did.

BD just following its master’s bidding.

Dr.Zakir has millions of followers, and if one of them was involved in some criminal activity doesn't mean that Dr.Zakir was the mastermind behind that...Imran Khan and Trump has millions of followers too and if one of them commits a crime then are we going to blame IK or DT?
