Zakir Naik's press conference cancelled again

July 14, 2016 09:30

Controversial televangelist Dr Zakir Naik's press conference scheduled at 11.30 this morning has been cancelled again.

Mohsin Khan, Dr Naik's media coordinator, confirmed the development to Rediff.com's Prasanna D Zore.

"The owners withdrew the permission early morning 3 am without any proper reason or justification," Khan said.

Khan would not confirm if the owners buckled under pressure from the city police or political parties who are opposed to Dr Naik's entry into the city and are demanding his arrest on arrival.
