In a move sparking international outrage, Pakistan has provided radical preacher and wanted terrorist Zakir Naik with the highest level of security during his state visit, raising concerns and questions worldwide. Naik, a controversial figure known for his inflammatory sermons and connections to extremist ideologies, has been shielded by extensive precautions taken by the Pakistani authorities, who claim they fear the threat of "unknown men."
Wanted for alleged money laundering charges, controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik arrived in Pakistan on Monday morning at the invitation of the Government of Pakistan, amid tight security for his lecture series at Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore.
Upon his arrival at the New Islamabad Airport, he was received by leaders from the top echelons of the Pakistan government, which included the Chairman of the Pakistan Prime Minister's Youth Program, Rana Mashhood and Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Syed Atta-ur-Rehman, as reported by the Tribune.

The security apparatus deployed for Naik's visit rivals that of high-ranking officials, including heavily armed escorts, advanced surveillance technology, and a large contingent of elite military personnel. These measures have drawn widespread criticism, particularly given Naik's controversial background and his fugitive status in neighboring India.
Providing security to a radical and wanted terrorist like Zakir Naik in Pakistan is a reprehensible and extremely dangerous move. It clearly demonstrates support for terrorism and extremism. Protecting such individuals is not only against humanity but also endangers global peace…

It is unfortunate that a wanted terrorist is given the highest security cover Pakistan
Most probably this is the only reason Pakistan is itself called a terrorist state 🤦
