Nik Aziz: Blame Umno for political morass
KOTA BARU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi should not be the only leader to be held accountable for the current political mess in the country, said Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.
Rather, it is Umno which must bear the blame, as threats of defection, corruption, nepotism and cronyism, are leading the country to face an uncertain outlook, the PAS spiritual adviser said.
He was commenting on the distribution of an unsigned statement in Parliament on Thursday which explained various scenarios which could lead to the “dismissal of the PM”.
Nik Abdul Aziz said the root cause for the political decay in the country could be attributed to Umno purportedly rejecting Islam.
“They have governed on the premise of evicting Islam and Umno is like a party with no brakes.
“What is haram can become halal according to Umno.”
The only salvation for Umno is to go back to Islamic roots, he said, adding that moves to remove Abdullah were personal.
