But now it is Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad’s call to whether deport or not to deport Zakir Naik from Malaysia.

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad is taking his time to solve this situation but the Malaysian media has not given any details on this.

Zakir Naik was given permanent residency after Saudi Arabia and India had deported him. For the last three years, Zakir Naik has been living in Malaysia.

He also created a lot of public outcries after he said that Hindus of South Asia is 100 times superior to Muslim minorities in India, and claimed that he supports Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India and not the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Al Jazeera Reported.
