New Delhi: While India has officially called for the extradition of fugitive Muslim preacher Zakir Naik, Malaysia’s former attorney general has claimed in a book that New Delhi was ready to settle for Kuala Lumpur to only “expel him from our shores”.
On January 30, Malaysia’s first non-Malay and non-Muslim attorney general, Tommy Thomas, published his memoirs, touted as the first insider account of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) that came to power in the historic 2018 elections.
