Professor behind rift in PAS

PETALING JAYA: The man who caused the political storm now blowing through PAS is not Kelantan Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat but a law professor from Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA) who calls himself “a small-time academic”.

Prof Dr Abdul Aziz Bari , who lectures constitutional law, said he was shocked but did not regret that his views on PAS politics had caused a party crisis with Nik Aziz asking president Datuk Seri Hadi Awang to resign.
