Former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad should not criticise the Universiti Malaya student leaders (UM8) for demonstrating, as Umno had also done so in the past said the students.

Responding to Mahathir’s remark yesterday on KiniTV that the Quran does not teach students to demonstrate, former Universiti Malaya Students Association (PMUM) president Fahmi Zainol, one of the persecuted eight, pointed to Umno rallies in 1946.
