July 29, 2016

Mumbai, July 29: Islamic scholar Dr Zakir Naik, against whom a series of allegations were levelled by media post attack in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka, has sent a defamation notice to Times Now news channel.

The founder of Islamic Research Foundation has sought Rs 500 crore as damages from Arnab Goswami, Editor in Chief of Times Now and other office bearers.

On his popular show The Newshour Debate' on Times Now, Arnab Goswami has been running stories against Dr Naik since a report surfaced that one of the terrorists involved in Dhaka attack had liked the Facebook page of Dr Naik. Besides, Mr Goswami had portrayed Dr Naik as the guru of terrorists across the world.

Dr Naik, in his press conference through Skype from Saudi Arabia, accused a section of media of carrying out media trial against him. He also gave an open challenge to Arnab Goswami for a debate on a neutral platform over the allegations against him.
