Charge Hadi for blasphemy on claims against non-Muslims: Ramkarpal
GEORGE TOWN – PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang can be charged for some form of blasphemy after accusing non-Muslims of being responsible for widespread corruption in the country, said DAP’s legal bureau.
Its chief Ramkarpal Singh said in a statement that Hadi’s remarks “were not based on any evidence or empirical studies and were basically made to play to the gallery and instil in the minds of some the myth that non-Muslims seem to be the root cause of one of the most heinous of social ills, corruption”.
He also urged the attorney-general to charge Hadi under Section 298A and Section 504 of the Penal Code “without fear or favour”.
