Controversial preacher Zakir Naik has claimed that his remarks about Hindu Malaysians had been misquoted.

He came under fire for allegedly claiming that Hindu Malaysians are more loyal to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi than to Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

However, Zakir said that he was only saying that some Hindus in Malaysia trust the Modi government more in regard to the charges against him.

Zakir had made the remarks in response to a question during his talk in Kelantan on Aug 8, regarding the conflict in Kashmir, and the plight of Muslims in India.

We reviewed two live videos of Zakir's remarks from the talk on YouTube and Facebook.

The original live streams can be accessed on Kelantan TV's Facebook and YouTube pages.
