OPINION: Radical propaganda

Satyapal Singh who was Commissioner of Police had alerted the MHA on the activities of Zakir Naik. However, instead of it being dealt with in the internal security or FCRA division, where it would have been considered more serious, it was dealt with by the national integration division. Leaders like Ghulam Nabi Azad, Digvijay Singh and K Rahman Khan had close ties with Naik. He indulged in anti-India propaganda through his Peace TV. Malaysian government acted against him after they realised that he had started dividing their society.
