Indian religious preacher Zakir Naik, who faces charges of money laundering and hate speech in India, arrived in Pakistan on Monday for a month-long visit.

He is scheduled to deliver lectures in major cities of the country including Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore.

Naik, who currently resides in Malaysia, previously visited Pakistan in 1992.

Upon his arrival at Islamabad International Airport, Naik was received by officials from the Ministry of Religious Affairs and PM’s aide Rana Mashhood, reported Dawn News.

In addition to public events, he is expected to meet senior government officials and participate in various public engagements, as his visit is scheduled to continue until Oct 28, the Pakistani newspaper reported.

Naik is staying in Malaysia as a runaway fugitive.

He left India in 2016.

He was granted a permanent residency by Malaysia's previous government led by Mahathir Mohamed.
