Mujahid: Wrong to deny child’s welfare in Islam’s name


PETALING JAYA: It is wrong to kidnap, hide or deny a child his or her welfare in the name of Islam, says Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, who is in charge of Islamic affairs, said he would support efforts by the police to look for 11-year-old Prasana Diksa, who was taken away from her mother M. Indira Gandhi in 2009 by her father K. Padmanathan.
