PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat has been using religion too much for his own political gain, Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) deputy president Omar Saleh said.

NONE "If the opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was described as 'political prostitute', then I would like to know is Nik Aziz ( left ) is someone who prostitutes religion because he has been using religion to fulfil his desire for power," he told Bernama today.

Omar was commenting on Nik Abdul Aziz's remarks during the Tenang by-election campaign, describing those who did not vote for PAS as jahiliyah (ignorant).

"I would like to ask Nik Aziz what is the status of my ancestors and those who did not vote for PAS before the party was established?

"Are they kafir (non-believers) too, like what was stated in the fatwa issued by PAS?" he said.

Omar said Anwar and Nik Abdul Aziz were two pak turut (yes men) who were willing to become DAP's yes men, alleging that Nik Abdul Aziz had also sold the religion for the sake of DAP's political interest.
