KOTA BARU: In a move seen as an effort to shore up support for PAS spiritual adviser Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, Kelantan PAS yesterday organised a gathering along Jalan Datuk Pati here to urge the 78-year-old leader to remain as the mentri besar.
Of late, Nik Abdul Aziz, who has helmed the state for the past 19 years, has been under pressure over controversies surrounding his son-in-law Abdul Ariffahmi Abdul Rahman who he had asked to quit as Kelantan Menteri Besar Incorporated chief executive officer, his botched RM65,000 pilgrimage trip paid for by a businessman and the turmoil within the state administration.
