Vladivostok, Sept 5: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday met his Malaysian counterpart Mahathir bin Mohamad and reportedly raised the issue of extradition of self-exiled preacher Dr Zakir Naik.

Addressing a press briefing, Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said: “Prime Minister Modi raised the issue of Zakir Naik's extradition. Both the parties have decided that our officials will stay in contact regarding the matter and it is an important issue for us.”

Naik has been banned from giving public speeches anywhere in Malaysia after he stated that Malaysian Hindus are more loyal to Indian PM despite getting more than 100% rights in Malaysia. Later, he apologised for his remark but insisted that he was not a racist.

PM Modi met the Malaysian Prime Minister on the sidelines of the fifth meeting of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) held in the Russian Far East Region.
