In a Facebook posting today, Gobind said the DAP had never waged war against Islam.

“We are not anti-Islam. We have supporters, members and people’s representatives who are Muslims. We uphold the Federal Constitution which declares that Islam is the official religion of Malaysia.

“But what concerns me most is the utter silence on the part of our Inspector-General of Police who leads the police force, which is supposedly guardian of the law of this land. We have an open and public declaration of such a serious nature but he says nothing. It is almost as if nothing has happened,” the Puchong MP posted.

Gobind claimed Khalid’s conduct differed from instances where he quickly dealt with “other cases” involving matters said to be sensitive in nature.

“We have laws in this country. We need to see these laws enforced. Silence in circumstances like these is to my mind, no option.

“I think the question at the uppermost of many people’s mind is whether or not the IGP agrees with the Mufti? If he does not, the question is what does he propose to do about it then?” Gobind said, adding that the matter was of great public importance.
