PUTRAJAYA – Controversial Indian Muslim preacher Dr Zakir Naik was among hundreds of people who jostled to greet Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad after Friday prayers outside Putrajaya Mosque here today.
“Assalamualaikum, Tun,” Naik was heard making the Muslim salutation as he approached Mahathir, before speaking a few words to the prime minister.
Naik was accompanied by four bodyguards.
Naik, who has Malaysian permanent resident status given to him by the Najib Razak administration, lives at Tamara Residence, a middle-class condominium not far from the Prime Minister’s Office.
He is wanted by authorities in India for questioning on allegations of extremism and money laundering, charges which he dismissed as false.
