PUTRAJAYA: Some PAS leaders are aware of their members giving wrong interpretations of Islam but do not act in order to preserve their political agenda, said Religious Adviser to the Prime Minister Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Othman. 

He said just about any PAS leader now could claim to be an ulama and by dressing up in a jubah (robe) they could mislead the people into accepting them as scholars.
