He told reporters he was also shown two video clips of himself.

“They showed me the clips and told me there were hundreds of police reports lodged,” he said.

Ramasamy was questioned under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and other terrorism-related charges. He arrived at Bukit Aman at about 10am, accompanied by his lawyer and former Malaysian Bar president Ragunath Kesavan.

The first article was titled “New government but the same old police force”. In it, Ramasamy questioned the police for gunning down three men in Batu Arang, Selangor, last month.

In the second article, titled “Who am I, peacemaker or terrorist”, Ramasamy explained his alleged ties to LTTE and his role as an advocate for peace.

Ramasamy himself has lodged a report with the police against those responsible for spreading one of the videos, showing him speaking in Chennai.

He said this had been done to paint him in a bad light.

“There is an attempt to silence the critics of Zakir Naik, and I have filed a writ of summons in court and they are actually going for an injunction,” he said.

He said he had nothing personal against the controversial preacher but that he did not condone his attempts at “causing racial unrest”.

“Do not vilify the non-Muslims. Do not incite racial issues and do not question our loyalty to our country,” he added.

“This issue (LTTE charges) did not happen before Naik’s arrival in Malaysia.”

He also said he would continue to fulfil his duties as an elected representative.

“I was born here, I studied here, I got married here and I will die here,” he said.
