  • Naik has been unable to hold 'peace conferences' in Mumbai since 2011, owing to the protests held by the Muslim community.

    He had angered both the Muslim sects by praising Yazid, a despised historical Islamic figure whose army had massacred the Prophet's grandson, Imam Hussain in the Battle of Karbala.

    He also refused to dub Bin Laden a terrorist, leading to his UK ban.
