Naik further added that he was ready to face action if he had broken any law and challenged anyone to show he had attempted to disrupt harmony in India.
Last week, Naik had cited “travel plans” and said he would come to India only next year.
Calling IS an “anti-Islam state”, Naik said killing innocents was a sin against humanity, according to the Quran. “IS has given a wrong meaning to Islam. If someone killed Muslims in Gujarat that doesn’t justify killing innocent Hindus in Mumbai,” he said.
