PAS: Hudud Umno's diversion

Also at the open house, PAS Youth chief Nasruddin Hassan said that hudud is part and parcel of the Islamic faith and it is the duty of all Muslims to discuss and know.

However, he said that the issue should not have been "politicised or polemicised" but instead discussed in detail and in the proper manner.

Nasruddin posits that only the BN government is keen to play up the matter in the media in order to obfuscate more important matters like fake ICs of dubious voters and the ISA.

He reiterated the Islamic party's stand that as Islam is the agenda, they hope to see hudud implemented one day, but allayed allegations and fears that hudud will adversely affect non-Muslims.

"This is for Muslims," assured Nasruddin.
