He should not interfere in local politics, says mufti


PETALING JAYA: Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin (pic) has hit out at Muslim leaders who have “selectively” condemned Zakir Naik, but added that it was inappropriate for the controversial preacher to comment on local politics.

The Perlis mufti told an online portal that some Malay leaders in government were quick to defend those who had criticised Zakir, but were not quick to criticise those who had insulted Islam.
