@Beardman ga mee nayakudiki Malaysia lo kooda nookalu chelli poyayanta ra arey, veedini uri teesina teestharu. Nuvvu kooda jagratha rei. 

The Malaysian government has announced that it will summon Indian Muslim preacher Zakir Naik over controversial statements he made about ethnic minorities in the country, as Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and his cabinet consider their options amid contentious debate on his possible deportation.

Home Affairs Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said in a statement late on Thursday that the police will question Naik following his remarks about Malaysians of Chinese and Hindu backgrounds.

Muhyiddin made the statement as Singapore's Straits Times reported that Mahathir's cabinet members have agreed during their meeting on Wednesday that Naik should leave the country.

The police have also confirmed that Naik is under investigation, adding that the agency received at least 115 complaints against the preacher. It would not say when Naik will appear to answer the complaint.

Criminal Investigation Division director Datuk Huzir was quoted by Bernama state news agency as saying the Naik's case is being investigated "for intentional insult with intent to provoke a break of peace".
