Addressing the people of Pakistan, Professor Chauhan used teachings from the Bhagavad Gita and a Sanskrit shloka to question when terrorism would come to an end and urged people to follow their karma instead of resorting to violence in the name of religion. 

Chauhan also questioned the global killing carried out in the name of faith and stated the need to fulfil one's duties for the betterment of society.

Before citing the Bhagavad Gita, Chauhan prayed for the peace and prosperity of Pakistan. 

In response, Zakir Naik acknowledged the questions and replied, "That was a good question. What is the solution for peace, he is asking. The answer is simple and written in the Quran. The master key for peace is that all must convert to Islam. We pray to one Ilah."

The video of this exchange between Professor Chauhan and Zakir Naik is currently going viral on social media, attracting attention from netizens and sparking debates on religious tolerance and extremism.

While we , we love one sided secularism and getting trapped in it and one day or other will fall prey to it if u don't leave this…

इस्लाम और ईसाई..
Conversion से ही फले फुले हैं.
उनका एजेंडा साफ है..
हम उस एजेंडे को जानते हुए भी अनजान बन जाते हैं
