LAHORE: Religious scholar Dr Zakir Naik on Monday called on PML-N president Nawaz Sharif at his Jati Umra residence.

Naik had earlier visited Pakistan in October last year on the invitation of the Shehbaz Sharif government.

Although originally from India, the preacher currently resides in Malaysia due to legal troubles in his home country, which has sought his extradition in a number of cases.

On his last visit Naik had met senior government officials and participated in various public engagements but there has been no official word about his current visit to Pakistan except his meeting with the elder Sharif.
