A former Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) officer, who recently stirred controversy as a guest speaker on Times Now channel by making controversial comments about Prophet Muhammad, was on Tuesday described as “incompetent” and a “non-performer” by some senior colleagues who oversaw his work in India’s external intelligence agency.

The channel was forced to distance itself from the army man’s views on Islam, as a police complaint was also lodged against him.

In a heated exchange on the supposed love jihad in Kerala, he made outrageous comments about Prophet Muhammad which upset many people, across communities.
