PETALING JAYA: Activist lawyer Siti Kasim has criticised Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's decision not to deport controversial Indian preacher Dr Zakir Naik. She told news portal Free Malaysia Today that unlike Sirul, Zakir has yet to stand trial for his alleged offences. “We requested Australia to extradite Sirul and they are afraid we are going to send him to the gallows. Zakir Naik in general feels that he is not going to get a fair trial (in India),” said Dr Mahathir. Arun was quoted saying that he would organise a protest outside the Home Ministry if Malaysia refuses to extradite Zakir.
