New Delhi: Former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju on Saturday came down heavily on founder of Islamic Research Foundation Zakir Naik saying, it seems the controversial Islamic preacher seems to be totally ignorant of Urdu.
The former Press Council of India chairman today took to Twitter to express his views on Naik's various takes.
Here's what he wrote:
“Y doesnt Zakir Naik quote Urdu poetry in his speeches ? Is it because Urdu poetry has Sufi touch, which propagates humanitarianism & rejects.”
“Religious fundamentalism ? Is it because he supports Wahabis, who r deadly enemies of the Sufis ? He seems to be totally ignorant of Urdu.”
“Zakir Naik says demolition of Bamiyan Buddha was to educate the Buddhists. When asked whether this would not have caused grief to millions of Buddhists, he says that when the government siezes a haul of drugs, it causes grief to many drug users.”
