Islamic preacher Dr. Zakir Naik has issued an apology for his recent comments about Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) during his visit to Pakistan. Dr. Naik acknowledged that his remarks caused discomfort and clarified that his intentions were to promote peace between India and Pakistan.
At a recent event, Dr. Naik shared a conversation with Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori, who urged him to overlook the PIA incident. Reflecting on the social media backlash, Naik emphasized that he does not wish to create division between Indians and Pakistanis.
Previously, Naik expressed disappointment with PIA for offering only a 50% discount on excess baggage fees, particularly as a state guest. He contrasted this with his experiences in India, where he claimed to have been given more leeway with luggage.
Apologizing for any offense, Naik stated, “If my words have caused discomfort to my Pakistani brothers, I sincerely apologise.”
