Zakir Naik, a controversial Islamic preacher, criticized Pakistan International Airlines for not waiving extra baggage fees during his visit to Pakistan. He claimed that even a Hindu official in India would allow him to carry extra luggage for free. Naik, who is living in Malaysia, began his month-long visit to Pakistan last week. He made headlines for his remarks on sensitive topics, including a response to a question about pedophilia, which he dismissed as inappropriate. India's government condemned Pakistan for welcoming Naik, stating that his presence and comments are intended to insult Indian sentiments. Officials noted that Naik's reception in Pakistan is disappointing but not surprising.
