A defiant PAS today called on Umno Youth vice chief Khairy Jamaluddin not to procrastinate and file a police report immediately against Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Aziz for claiming that Barisan Nasional (BN) had resorted to money politics in the last polls.

Nik Aziz's political secretary Anual Bakri Harun said the Umno Youth leader was welcomed to file a report "if he thinks he has evidence to prove otherwise".

"He should not wait until the night falls. He can do it now and do it fast. Maybe his report would shed some light on the issue.

"It may in the end prove who is stronger and who will fall first," he added when contacted.

He said Nik Aziz, who is also PAS spiritual leader, did not plan to issue an official statement in response to Khairy's demand for an apology, which made it to the front-page of Utusan Malaysia today.

"He (Nik Aziz) is aware of Khairy's call...but he is not interested in responding. But I hope he (Khairy) will take my advice. If you are serious, don't wait for three days," said Anuar.

The Umno Youth vice chief had described Nik Aziz's statement, published in the New Sunday Times , as 'seditious and unfair'.

He demanded that an apology be extended over the next three days or warned that he would file a police report.

Resignation reports

Meanwhile, Anuar said Nik Aziz was more concerned with the media reports over his purported resignation.

"We are concerned with the irresponsible reports which had been slanted in such a way, obviously wanting to cause permanent damage to him and the party as a whole. We are seriously discussing on the next course of action.

"One of the options we are seriously considering is lodging a police report," he added.

Previously, Kelantan PAS Youth chief Zulkafli Yacob said he had instructed his lawyers to look into the possibility of taking legal action against the media for publishing the reports.

Apart from Utusan Malaysia which front-paged the news on Nov 24, the Star and malaysiakini had also reported on the resignation the day before.
