Is Putrajaya waiting for controversial Muslim preacher Zakir Naik to commit a crime before extraditing him, Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy asked today.
Urging Pakatan Harapan leaders to make a stand, he noted how the Indian government has accused the Zakir of numerous crimes, including those related to terrorism.
In view of this, Ramasamy said the focus should be on the extradition order, and not if the Indian-born preacher had committed crimes in Malaysia.
"What is a crime in one country must be a crime in another country.
"How did you all deport China's Uighur minority? It was just a request from China, all they had to do is make a phone call and Malaysia did it. Likewise, how did you deport Sri Lankan refugees?
"The world is watching why the Malaysia government is reluctant to deport Zakir," he told Malaysiakini.
