Fugitive radical Islamic preacher Zakir Naik landed in Pakistan’s Islamabad on Monday for his lectures in several major cities including Karachi and Lahore. He will conclude his visit with a lecture in Islamabad on October 28. 

As per reports, he will also lead and address Friday prayer congregations.

Naik announced his trip through his social media handles and shared details of the public lectures he will deliver in Pakistan. He is set to begin his tour on October 5, starting with Karachi, then Lahore, and finishing in Islamabad.

Earlier on Monday, Zakir Naik took to X and shared a video explaining why he has reduced the frequency of his public lectures. 

"The number of individuals attending public speeches has grown every year if you count them. I used to travel to a city and give presentations for five days, maybe fifteen, or two weeks and give talks for twenty, but these days I travel to a nation and give talks solely on the weekends. However, the combined attendance for those two sessions is far higher than that of 10 talks. That is only one explanation, though not the only one."
