PAS within its rights to protest Quran-burning: Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR – PAS has the right to vent its stand against a Danish-Swedish leader who burnt a Quran in Stockholm, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.

The government will not interfere in the party’s protest planned for tomorrow unless it gets out of hand, he added.

“It’s their right (to stage a protest). They have (taken) the initiative and we support it.

“If there is a problem, the government will intervene. Please don’t cause any commotion,” Anwar told reporters after launching the Knowledge, Tradition and Civilisation: Essays in Honour of Prof Osman Bakar book here today.
