Dr Zakir Naik meets Maulana Tariq Jameel

Acclaimed religious scholar Dr Zakir Naik Friday night met Maulana Tariq Jameel in Lahore.

Zakir Naik, who is currently on a visit to Pakistan with his son, reached Lahore after completing his lectures and meetings in Karachi.

Naik reached the residence of Tariq Jameel during which matters related to the unit of Muslim Ummah were discussed.

 Dr Zakir Naik has apologised for his comments regarding the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).

At an event, Naik shared that Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori urged him to “forget about the incident involving PIA,” prompting him to reflect on whether he had indeed made any comments on the matter.

The governor subsequently reminded him of the incident.

He acknowledged the tension surrounding his comments on social media and began to question whether what he said was right or wrong.

But he emphasised that “his intentions were rooted in truth,” stating that he does not wish to foster any animosity between Indian and Pakistani brothers, akin to the divisions created by the British before partition.
