Information and Broadcasting Minister Venkaiah Naidu today said the Home Ministry will analyze everything related to Islamic preacher Zakir Naik.<br/><br/>Naik is in the centre of controversy following the reports that one of the five Bangladeshi youths allegedly involved in recent Dhaka terror attack was his follower.<br/><br/>Talking to reporters in New Delhi, Mr. Naidu said his speech and other things which came in the media are objectionable.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, a 2012 video came in the public domain in which senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh is praising Zakir Naik at an event. <br/><br/>Mr. Singh has admitted that he had shared the stage with Naik but claimed that he had spoken against religious fundamentalism and appealed for communal harmony.<br/><br/>He said the government should take action against Naik, if it has any evidence about his involvement with terror group ISIS.<br/><br/>Reacting to it, BJP has attacked Congress. Party spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao alleged that Congress party's sympathies are always with terrorist organisations and such video is not surprising.
