Dhaka [Bangladesh], November 2 (ANI): Dhaka on Sunday said that it has taken note of the remarks made by the spokesperson of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs regarding the possible visit of a prominent Islamic scholar to Bangladesh.

'We have taken note of the remarks made by the spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs of India regarding the possible visit of a prominent Islamic scholar or cleric to Bangladesh,' Foreign Ministry spokesperson SM Mahbubul Alam told ANI on Sunday.

The interim government of Bangladesh, led by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, has not stated whether the country will permit Zakir Naik to visit.

'A group of those who want to bring Zakir Sahib met us. I told them that it is not my business. It is a matter for the Foreign and Home Ministries, under their jurisdiction,' AFM Khalid Hossain, adviser to the interim government on religious affairs, said.

Earlier, Bangladesh Foreign Affairs Adviser Md.Touhid Hossain stated that he was not aware of any visit by a controversial person, including Zakir Naik. (ANI)
