Zakir Naik’s IRF minted millions of rupees through charities, used funds to spread radical thoughts
– Published: 09 November 2019
Melbourne: The Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) founded by controversial preacher Zakir Naik, has collected millions of rupees through charities and donations worldwide and used the funds to spread radical thoughts, said Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy here on Friday. Presenting India’s third intervention on the usage of non-profit organisations (NPOs) in radicalisation and terror financing on the last day of the three-day ‘No Money For Terror’ Conference in Melbourne, Reddy pointed out the strict action taken against the IRF, a Mumbai-based charity organisation, while continuing to focus on the need for counter-radicalisation. Naik, who has been living in Malaysia for the last three years, is facing charges of inciting communal disharmony and committing unlawful activities in India. He is also facing probe both in India and Bangladesh in connection with the terror attack at the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka on July 2016.
