Religious scholar Dr Zakir Naik faced backlash over his statement regarding the complaint to Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) for not loading his overweight stuff “free” on the plane on his way to Pakistan from Malaysia.
Speaking from the Governor House in Karachi, he was offended by recalling his tour to Pakistan and stated that the PIA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) offered his a 50 per cent discount on his overloaded 500 KG baggage and questioned the Pakistan hospitality.
He further said, “If he were in an Indian airport, they would even let me load 1000 KG of baggage free in the plane,” and confirmed he never paid overweight at an Indian airport.”
Lambasting Pakistan authority, Zakir Naik stated, “I am a state guest in Pakistan, but my extra luggage was not loaded free.”
Social media users Criticised Dr Zakir Naik over his complaint to PIA.
One user wrote, “Enough of hospitality; serve Dr Sahab some food and say goodbye to him.”
Another user wrote, “Clerics has lost his mind.”
