PAS' central Ulama wing (DUPP) today unanimously condemned the distribution of a sex video allegedly involving Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, calling it defamatory and politically motivated.

The decision was announced by permanent chairperson Hamdan Mohamad during the wing's muktamar or general assembly in Taman Melewar in Kuala Lumpur, after it was debated during the afternoon session.

NONE Earlier, when debate on the sex video was opened to the floor, Kelantan Ulama youth representative Nik Razi Nik Mat ( left ) accused the BN government of allowing the sex video to be widely circulated.

Nik Razi, who is a younger brother of Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Aziz Nik Mat, said the ruling government had "no image" in terms of promoting Islamic values.

"In the past, the prime minister of 22 years accused his former deputy of sodomy, during a time of pushing to instil Islamic values. This was followed by Islam Hadhari, and now 1Malaysia, which has no Islamic words," he said when debating the topic.

'Debate sex video distribution in Parliament'

Nik Razi suggested that the issue should be debated in Parliament, and at the same time, he took to task muftis who have kept mum on the sex video issue.

He also stressed that PAS' Ulama members should strive to keep in touch with modernity and current technology.

A delegate from Kedah supported Nik Razi's views, saying that the sex video issue could be used by BN as leverage when going into the next general election.

He said it was a BN tactic to try and shake PAS' confidence in Anwar, who is also PKR adviser, since the ruling government had run out of campaign capital.

"They are willing to do anything to Pakatan Rakyat to (defend) Putrajaya. They are actually targeting Malay voters... PAS contests in 65 percent Malay areas, so PAS will face risks with this video," the delegate said, adding that there are those among the voters who believed the BN allegations.

The Kedah delegate also slammed ulama who have chosen to join the ranks of Umno, calling them "syaitan bisu" (silent devils) for their silence over the sex video scandal, despite they being highly educated.
