And he caused controversy when Welsh MP. David Davies called for his appearance to be canceled. He said that dr.
Nayak was a hate mongerer and didn't deserve to have a platform to express his views publicly the controversy also
Continues because dr nag has been banned in the UK
Canada as well as malaysia for his hate speeches against other religions and had been denied permission to hold public
Sermons due to the nature of violence and citing things that were being set at these functions dr.

warned MPs of his views and dr
Nags views have offended many Muslim scholars both from the Shia as well as the Sunni communities
