Goa MP Shantaram Naik today said the Union Home Ministry should immediately file an FIR against controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik as his speeches "incite communal violence".
"Zakir Naik should be booked immediately. The process to ban his television channel and organisation can take time. But action against him should be immediate," Naik told reporters here during a press conference.
"The Union government has been delaying filing an FIR against Naik," the Rajya Sabha MP said.
"I don't know if the Home Ministry has conducted any study of Naik's speeches. If the investigating agencies examine his speeches, they will realise what he has said about a particular community. His speeches incite communal violence," the Congress leader said.
"I heard him saying that there should be only one religion and the rest should come under its wing," he said.
