Markandey Katju receives death threat from Zakir Naik’s backers

New Delhi: Former Justice of the Supreme Court Markandey Katju has allegedly received a death threat from the supporters of controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik after he challenged the latter to debate him. Katju took to social networking website Facebook to inform about this.

Katju, in a Facebook post, writes that he agrees to debate with the controversial Islamic preacher after people provoked him into it. The former SC Justice says he fails to understand some people who have been challenging him to debate with Naik and when he accepts the challenge now, they are threatening his life.
