Bangladeshi Islamic scholar Mizanur Rahman Azhari has rejected a British media report claiming that the Australian government canceled his visa and ordered him to leave the country. According to the Daily Mail, Azhari was touring Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Canberra as part of the 'Legacy of Faith' series when his visa was revoked on Tuesday, leaving him awaiting departure from Australia.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Azhari stated that he had been in Australia for five days at the invitation of the local Muslim community and that the report was a misinterpretation of facts. He said the claim that his visa was canceled due to recent remarks was false, as he had not delivered any speech in Australia. Azhari alleged that certain interest groups and atheist factions had misused old, isolated statements to influence administrative decisions, similar to incidents he faced in the United Kingdom.

He reaffirmed his belief in communal harmony and peaceful coexistence, emphasizing that these values are evident in his previous discussions.
