Selangor Perkasa has urged that action be taken against Selangor DAP chairperson Tony Pua for allegedly chiding the National Fatwa Council’s edict forbidding Muslims from celebrating Valentine’s Day recently.

Its president, Abu Bakar Yahya, said Pua’s remarks posted on his blog and on Facebook were provocative as they could enrage Muslims.

“We cannot remain silent as Pua has insulted Muslims and his remarks might undermine harmony,” he told reporters after lodging a police report against Pua over the remarks at the Shah Alam police headquarters yesterday.

Abu Bakar said Pua not only rebuked the council for declaring the Valentine’s Day as haram (forbidden) but also ridiculed the Islamic Development Department.

“We hope Pua will not interfere in Islamic matters as we should respect each other’s religion,” he added.
