British media regulator Ofcom has fined controversial Muslim cleric & economic offender Zakir Naik's Peace TV with 2.70 crores rupees (£300K) accusing it of broadcasting hate speech. The UK charity regulator is also looking into the funding of peace TV.

Zakir Naik is an ideological hooligan whose job is to demoralise people from other religions & invite them to become Muslim. To achieve his goal of religious conversation, he never hesitates to attack other religions & talk nonsense. He is wanted by Indian law enforcement agencies in several cases. But, this controversial Muslim thug is currently living in Malaysia to avoid detention & legal prosecution in India. Recently, he made a controversial remark that Muslim countries must arrest the non-Muslim Indian critics of Islam if they travel Muslim majority nations.

As per Ofcom, the content of the program aired on Peace TV Urdu and Peace TV was highly objectionable. It seems that broadcasting was inciting people to commit crimes. It said that the content of the program violated UK broadcasting rules. Ofcom cancelled the license of Peace TV Urdu in November 2019. Currently, Peace TV and Peace TV Urdu are not allowed to broadcast in the UK.
