PH, BN must deal with opposition’s ‘crazy’ bigotry, says Anwar

 

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says PAS has gone down a ‘preposterous’ path, by peddling claims of prophets arriving in Kedah.

BUKIT MERTAJAM: The government has no choice but to deal with the “green wave” and questionable propaganda by the opposition, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said.

Anwar said he has told Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional component parties to work to fend off any absurd propaganda made in the name of Islam.

“I told them we have to deal with this crazy race and religious bigotry (narrative),” he told reporters at Qurban Perdana Madani at Permatang Pauh.

Anwar was responding to a question on the unity coalition’s ability to weather the green wave, spearheaded by PAS.

He said PAS has gone down a “preposterous” path, by peddling claims of prophets arriving in Kedah, with the Islamic party’s ulama faction not batting an eyelid.

Anwar said such heresy was being tolerated out of ignorance.

“If you are really committed to the teachings of Islam, you wouldn’t allow this.” - FMT
