Zakir Naik not allowed to participate in 'racial politics': Malaysian PM Mahathir

Kuala Lumpur, Aug 18 (UNI) Two days after Malaysian government has said that Zakir Naik's Permanent Resident status may be revoked, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohammad on Sunday said that the controversial preacher was indulging in 'politics' and not mere religious preaching.
"Religious teachers can preach but he was not doing that. He was talking about sending Chinese back to China and Indians back to India. That's politics," Dr Mahathir said in a press conference here launching the 62nd International Statistical Institute World Statistics Congress 2019, according to reports in Malaysian media.
Perlis police chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Noor Mushar Mohd has said that action would be taken against radical preacher Naik if he defies the police order.
