AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news
KUALA LUMPUR, May 7 — PKR today criticised the National Fatwa Council’s latest edict banning Muslims from participating in unlawful and anti-government assemblies, claiming it was an Umno ploy to stifle dissent.
PKR information chief Dr Muhammad Nur Manuty said the council’s “fatwa” was in direct contradiction with another issued by Islamic scholar Shaikh Yusuf al-Qardawi.
Qardawi, who is president of the World Ulama Council, had said demonstrations were necessary to free a nation’s people from tyrannical rule, according to Muhammad Nur.
