The Sri Lankan government has issued orders preventing any person from preaching religious, extremist or radical ideologies that glorify terrorism. The order also banned any foreigner from preaching any such ideology and few persons involved in it have been deported.
As a result, peace TV owned by Muslim Cleric Zakir Naik has been banned and taken off the air by all cable and satellite networks. The channel is already banned in several countries including India.
Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said that the whole world should unite as one to face terrorism.
Mr Wickremsinghe said his government hoped to cooperate with all countries that oppose terrorism to share intelligence and expertise.
