Indian government banned the telecast of Peace TV from today.

Peace TV is a Mumbai-based TV channel run by Dr Naik's Islamic Research Foundation.

His interpretation of Islam through the channel came under the scanner after authorities discovered that many of the Gulshan attackers earlier this month were ardent followers of his preaching.

Cable TV operators in Bangladesh have say they are keen to stop airing controversial Indian televangelist Dr Zakir Naik's Peace TV but are waiting for a government notification.

Cable TV Owners' Association President Mir Hossain Akhtar on Friday told bdnews24.com, "In the past I myself used to watch the channel but after the Gulshan incident, I realised that many people do not view the channel the way I do it."
