Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa said the government is consistently making efforts to safeguard the racial harmony in the country. Dr Zakir is under police investigation for intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace for having made allegedly controversial remarks against Malaysian Hindus and Chinese in Kelantan on August 3, prompting calls for him to be deported to India.

Mujahid said he had met Dr Zakir before the latter made the alleged controversial statement and had explained to him the sensitivity of racial issues and the importance of harmony in the country.
