Mumbai, July 15 (IBNS): Islamic preacher Zakir Naik on Friday mediaperson, here via Skype and rejected allegations that his sermons inspired terror activities.

He said  suicide bombings targeting innocent people are condemnable.

"I did not inspire any terrorist," Naik said.

Naik said he 'knowingly'  never met any militant.

He, who is currently in Medina, said his statements made on terrorism and suicide bombing was 'doctored and tampered'.

Amid facing heat over charges that he inspired some of the Dhaka cafe attackers which killed 22 people earlier this month, Naik addressed the press conference on Friday.
