Interacting with the media here via Skype from Medina in Saudia Arabia, the Mumbai-based television evangelist said statements and recordings attributed to him that encourage terror and suicide bombings were doctored. He said his statements on terrorism and suicide bombings were ”doctored and tampered”. His speeches on Peace TV were popular in Bangladesh, but the channel has been banned there after the July 1 attack. ”I did not inspire any terrorist... suicide bombings targeting innocent people are condemnable,” Naik said. Naik shot into the limelight after the July 1 attack on a Dhaka café by Islamist terrorists said to have been followers of his Peace TV.
