KUALA KRAI, June 26 (Bernama) -- PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat should not make statements that can confuse the people especially when he likened the Umno cause to the teachings of Ayah Pin, communistic and describing the party as propagating the socialist ideology that rejects religion and belief in God.
Gua Musang Member of Parliament Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said the statement by Nik Aziz at a ceramah in Laloh, Manek Urai, on June 21, which was alleged to be seditious, was inappropriate as the Kelantan Menteri Besar had previously contested in the general election in Kelantan on a Barisan Nasional (BN) ticket.
"PAS is also a political party like Umno. We (Umno) are also fighting for Islam. Everything that we do is for the sake of Islam. It should not be questioned. Such talks are illogical.
"He was previously with the BN too. In 1967, he contested in a by-election in Kelantan together with the BN. In 1974 when Kelantan was under the BN government, he contested in Bachok on a BN ticket. Why raise an issue that can confuse the people's thinking," he said.
Tengku Razaleigh said this to reporters after a meeting with the people of Manik Urai at Sekolah Kebangsaan Manik Urai, here, today. Also present were Kelantan BN secretary Datuk Alwi Che Ahmad and Kuala Krai Umno division head Datuk Ramzi Abdul Rahman.
On the by-election for the Manik Urai state seat on July 14, the Gua Musang Member of Parliament said the BN had a good chance of victory as PAS had lost the seat before.
