Radical Islamic preacher Zakir Naik has opposed the proposed Waqf Bill. Not only this, the fugitive Islamic preacher has also tried to provoke the Muslims of India and said that you people will have to oppose it unitedly. Zakir Naik said that the current BJP and its coalition government is not as powerful as it was in the last 10 years. Therefore, if you oppose strongly, they will have to step back. Zakir Naik released a video saying that there are more than 21 crore Muslims in India. If even 2.5 percent of them, i.e. 50 lakh people, oppose the Waqf Bill, then it can be stopped.
Zakir Naik also released a link and appealed to Muslims to vote against it. Describing Waqf property as the land of Muslims only, Zakir Naik said that Waqf Board is third in terms of land in India. This is not a public property. I want to tell this to the non-Muslims of India. Under this, those lands come which have been donated by Muslims in history. Therefore, no non-Muslim can interfere in it and the Constitution of India protects it. This anti-Muslim government wants to crush them through the Waqf Bill.
Zakir Naik said that this time BJP is not that strong. It is not as strong as it was in the last 10 years. The opposition is in a better position than before. Zakir Naik said that if this bill is passed then thousands of mosques, madrasas and graveyards can be snatched away from Muslims. If we are not able to stop this then our next generations will not forgive us. They will say that our ancestral lands were handed over. This is beneficial for the entire Ummah. Zakir Naik has often been giving controversial statements. Questions have been raised on him for conversions and objectionable comments on Hindu deities.
The fugitive Islamic preacher is currently settled in Malaysia and continues to release videos from there. Cases have been registered against him in India on charges of money laundering, spreading hatred and participating in illegal activities. He fled India in 2016 itself. Zakir Naik’s speeches are often full of objectionable comments on Hindu gods and goddesses. Due to this, people protested against him on a large scale and the government came into action.
