PKR has ‘nothing to do’ with Nik Nazmi case, says Amirudin

PKR vice-president Amirudin Shari has stated that his party had no involvement in the arrest of Bersama co-founder Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad by religious authorities. Amirudin emphasized that PKR had better matters to focus on than attempting to frame Nik Nazmi for khalwat. The Selangor Islamic religious council had previously denied allegations of a plot to arrest Nik Nazmi, stating that they acted on a complaint.

Nik Nazmi, a former MP for Setiawangsa, confirmed he was among two individuals detained by Selangor authorities for alleged khalwat in a Petaling Jaya hotel on Thursday. He admitted to a "lapse in judgment" but denied any immoral acts with a colleague. Nik Nazmi claimed that they had initially discussed at their studio in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, before continuing at Petaling Jaya to review project materials. Nik Nazmi was subsequently suspended by Bersama for three months.
