PUTRAJAYA: Attorney General Tommy Thomas (pic) has lodged a police report against an allegation that he is anti-Islam.

It is learnt that his officers went to the Putrajaya district police office at 3.15pm Wednesday (Feb 27) to lodge a report on his behalf.

The officers have yet to come out as of the police station of 4.30pm.

Barisan Nasional secretary-general Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz while campaigning at the Semenyih by-election last weekend, was alleged to have questioned the appointment of non-Malays as Attorney General, Chief Justice and Finance Minister and said that Malay rights should be defended at all costs.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun said police were investigating the matter and that Nazri was being probed for sedition.
