KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has questioned the motive behind the arrest of former Perlis Mufti Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin.
Dr Mohd Asri, who was arrested on Sunday night, was released on a police bond Monday without being charged.
Najib said that Dr Mohd Asri was a truthful speaker whose talks were always backed by proof and clear dalil (quaranic and Hadith verses).
“I don’t know what is the motive of the arrest. It was done by the state religious agency. It has nothing to do with the Federal Government,” he told reporters on Monday after launching a Pasar Tani convention.
Najib was asked to comment on Dr Mohd Asri’s arrest by the Selangor Religious Affairs Department (JAIS) on Sunday night for allegedly promoting the Wahabi doctrine to supporters
