Which Islamic preacher is reportedly planning to visit Bangladesh in November 2025, prompting India to urge Dhaka to take action?
Zakir NaikIndia’s Ministry of External Affairs urged Bangladesh to take appropriate action against Zakir Naik, who is wanted in India as a fugitive. Naik, currently based in Malaysia, is scheduled to visit Bangladesh from November 28–29, 2025, for a charity event—despite a prior ban by the Sheikh Hasina government following the 2016 Dhaka terror attack. Two of the attackers in the Holey Artisan Bakery massacre were reportedly inspired by Naik’s sermons, leading to the banning of his Peace TV network in Bangladesh. India emphasized that Dhaka should act in accordance with international norms regarding wanted individuals. The planned visit has reignited concerns over religious extremism and cross-border legal accountability.
