Govt preparing ground to take action against Zakir Naik?
Minister of state for home Kiren Rijiju was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times:"As a minister, I cannot comment as to what kind of action will be taken under the law."
He said the Indian government has not received any reference from Dhaka on the TV evangelist.
According to reports, two of the Dhaka cafe attackers-Nabris Islam and Rohan Imtiaz- were reportedly inspired by Naik.
The attack on Dhaka cafe on Friday left 20 people killed.
