PAS' Un-Islamic Actions Will Destroy Its Credentials, Says Najib

PHNOM PENH, Nov 18 (Bernama) -- Pas' actions in performing a special prayer and praying for the downfall of Barisan Nasional (BN) and Umno in the next general election would destroy its credentials as an Islamic party, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said tonight. The BN chairman and Umno president said such actions were very un-Islamic and against Islamic principles. He said it was the norm to hold prayers for good tidings, longevity and for the peace and prosperity of a nation. "Prayers were never offered for the destruction of a political party. It goes against the principles of Islam. "Umno has never prayed for the destruction of PAS," he told the Malaysian media here. Najib said this when asked to comment on newspaper reports that a prayer session was held at Stadium Muhamad Ke-IV, in conjunction with the 58th PAS Annual Muktamar in Kota Baharu, which among others, had sought the help of Allah to destroy Umno and the Barisan Nasional for the opposition party's easy access to Putrajaya. Najib is attending the three-day, 21st Asean Summit Conference which ends on Nov 20.
