The famous Islamic learned dr. Zakir Naik visited former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Punjab chief minister Maryam Nawaz on their stay in Raiwind.
During the meeting of the Sharif family’s property, the scholars and PML-N leaders reportedly discussed different questions.
However, no official declaration of the details of the conversation has been released.
Last week, former Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Hafeez has given rise to controversy after meeting Dr. Zakir Naik.
Hafeez shared photos from their meeting on social media and widespread criticism. Hafeez posted, “Pleasure Meeting with Zakir Naik,” along with pictures of them together, including one at a restaurant.

The post was met with strong reactions online, with many questioning his decision to meet Naik.
A user on social media wrote “This is one of the reasons why the Indian cricket team and the Indian government do not want to come to Pakistan.”
And they say that India is not playing in Pakistan. When you welcome and cherish a designated terrorist, will India play in Pakistan? Well done @Jayshah Don’t send Indian team to Pakistan.

Most of the criticism came from Indian citizens. Dr. NAIK is currently in demand by Indian authorities on charges of alleged money laundering and incentive to extremism.
The controversy also genuinely discussed discussions about India’s rejection of playing in Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
