#WATCH# | Srinagar, J&K: On the Ministry of Home Affairs' extension of the ban on Zakir Naik's Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), BJP leader Altaf Thakur says, “Zakir Naik was taking people towards provocation and jihad in a different way. The same message was repeatedly reflected in his speeches. The Government of India took action against him, following which he fled the country. He is still abroad... There is no objection to Islam. Islam is a religion of peace. It teaches peace and harmony. But if, under the guise of Islam, you try to bring ISIS-like or other extremist ideologies into India and influence children and young people here towards terrorist activities, action becomes necessary..."

#WATCH# | Srinagar, J&K: On the Ministry of Home Affairs' extension of the ban on Zakir Naik's Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), State President, JDU J&K, G.M.

It is necessary to ban activities that could disturb peace and create an adverse atmosphere... As far as the ban on Zakir Naik's foundation is concerned, we consider it a positive step. If the MHA has taken this decision, it must have had reasons to do so. Whatever the MHA has done, it must have been in the interest of the country...”

#WATCH# | Srinagar, J&K | Deputy CM Surinder Choudhary says, "The government had expected the BJP members to point out the government's shortcomings... Unfortunately, however, the BJP members remained silent during the brief opportunity they had. Thank God they stayed quiet, otherwise, they show no regard even for a person who has passed away... Regarding the drama the BJP staged inside the House, I hope they won't repeat it tomorrow and will allow the House to function... If you keep putting on such 'street-performer' style spectacles every day, who would entrust the leadership of Jammu & Kashmir to you..."
