Islamabad: Radical Islamic preacher and Indian fugitive Zakir Naik is to visit Pakistan in October to deliver a series of lectures in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi, a news report said.

According to an update posted on his official Facebook page on September 20, Naik is visiting Pakistan “on the invitation of the Government of Pakistan”. His tour starts on October 5 in Karachi and concludes in Islamabad on October 20, the tribune.com.pk reported.
 
His son, Fariq Naik, also an Islamic scholar, will join him on the tour, delivering lectures in all three cities.
