While expressing his strong reaction over the negative propaganda of Indian “biased” media against great intellectual and prominent Islamic preacher Dr Zakir Naik and the decision of the Indian government to probe his Islamic lectures, Chairman All Parties Hurriyat Conference (g) Syed Ali Geelani Friday said that Dr Zakir Naik and Peace TV are “propagating and preaching true message of Islam”.
“He has no direct or indirect relation with the terrorist incidents which are taking place in Bangladesh or any other place of the world,” Geelani said in a statement this evening.
He said, “the RSS and its allied parties are actually frustrated with the popularity of true Islamic message and they are now finding reasons and excuses to silence the prominent and most accepted voice of Dr Zakir Naik and the Peace TV.”
The octogenarian Geelani said, “the Sangh Parivar has started a direct war against Islam and for this purpose they with the help of state power want to silence and eliminate every such voice, person or institution who is representing Islam and the Muslims.”
The Hurriyat Conference (g) statement said that Peace TV has although grown to international level and its viewers list has crossed the 100 million mark. It is the most watched private TV channel in the world and it is not only watched by Muslims but the non-Muslim brethren too like to gain vital information from this channel. This TV channel is doing a commendable job in clearing the misconceptions regarding the Islam all over the world. It is preaching and propagating the “true” message of Islam in the world and many non-Muslim brethren after observing the unmatched and unchallenged teachings of Islam on this channel have and are willfully entering the fold of Islam.
“This trend has disturbed the fanatic people of RSS and the Sangh Parivar and they are doing all this in frustration,” Geelani claimed.
“The Indian fanatic and communal people are plotting to silence the Dr Zakir Naik and its TV channel since very long time but till now they didn’t succeed in that,” the ailing leader said.
He also criticized the Indian media for giving “too much hype” to this baseless issue and said, “in the name of Peace TV, they are actually spreading venom against the Islam and are running a media trial against the Dr Zakir Naik and his TV channel over a baseless issue.”
“Sitting in the news rooms, they are leveling allegations as an investigation agency and at the same time are issuing verdicts as the judiciary,” Geelani said, however, he cautioned that any attempt to harm the Peace TV or Dr Zakir Naik will have “strong reaction” in Jammu & Kashmir.
“It will take serious turn which will be uncontrollable for the policy makers of New Delhi,” Geelani said.
The Kashmiri pro-freedom leader also addressed the Indian Muslims that “it was testing time for them and any carelessness will prove fatal for the community in India and the communal people will eliminate their identity in the region”.
