Bangladesh has banned the controversial Indian Islamic preacher Zakir Naik's Peace TV. The government of Bangladesh cracked down on the channel and radical sermons after reports that "provocative" speeches inspired some of the militants who carried out the country's worst terror attack at a cafe here. The decision to ban the Mumbai-based preacher's 'Peace TV Bangla' was taken during a
special meeting of Cabinet Committee on Law and Order.Deployment of additional security forces at export processing zone was also ordered. Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan had earlier said Bangladesh's intelligence agencies were investigating the 50-year-old Naik's possible role in the attack. Meanwhile in India, Informtion and Broadcasting Minister Venkaiah Naidu has said Centre is taking serious note of the preacher's speeches.
