PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli said he will be filing the report himself as a reminder to PAS leaders and members not to use religion for political purposes.

“In a few days I will lodge a report with the police and Election Commission (EC) against PAS, because we cannot just ignore people like this.

“He thinks he can escape after inciting and threatening people by using religion,” he said in a ceramah here last night, telling the PAS man to get a lawyer.

Yesterday, Sik PAS Youth chief Shahiful Nasir admitted to making the remark in a ceramah and apologised. He said he was wrong for saying voting for PH or BN would make one “go to hell”.

Shahiful, who is also an ustaz, had drawn flak from netizens over his remark after a recording of his speech had gone viral.

Rafizi said PAS should be talking about how to help voters and their plans for constituents, regardless of ethnicity, rather than using religion to threaten people into voting for them.

He also pointed out that Sabah PAS was backing BN candidates in GE15, questioning, in jest, if this meant that its members there would also “go to hell” for this.
