Retract ‘kafir’ label on Umno, PAS told

PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has thrown a spanner in the works on the proposed signing of a formal political pact between opposition parties Umno and PAS on Saturday.

The Prime Minister said PAS has to first retract its statement labelling Umno as a party of infidels (kafir) before the two parties finalise their cooperation with the signing of a charter, reported Bernama.
