Bangladesh government has ordered shutting down of all 'Peace Schools' in service across the country as the country bans Zakir Naik's Peace TV.
The education ministry of Bangladesh has ordered to shut down all branches of Peace School in the country as it has no legal permission to carry out its activities. The Dhaka Education Board has been asked to cancel the registration of Peace School at Dhaka's Lalmatia for 'its involvement with controversial activities'. The Bangladesh government does not have any specific information on how many schools are being operated with the word 'Peace' in their names.
The education board said they only approved temporarily an English medium school at Lalmatia to operate under the name Peace School. The others do not have any such permission. The government has banned Peace TV after allegations were brought against Naik that at least two of the Gulshan attackers were inspired by him.
In the background, it has been known that there are 27 Peace International School and College in Bangladesh. In Dhaka, Mymensingh, Kishoreganj, Gazipur, Noakhali, Feni are one of them. In the capital city Dhaka there is three campuses of Peace Schools like in Lalmatia, Malibagh and in Uttara. These Peace Schools are led by the principles of Dr. Zakir Naik.
