Wanita Umno today challenged the DAP leadership to make an open statement supporting the formation of an Islamic state and the 'hudud' law championed by PAS during the campaign for the by-election for the Galas state constituency.

The movement's information chief Hamidah Osman said this would be in line with the party's tactic to distribute the pamphlets 'Roket kini' which claimed that the DAP respected Islam and was prepared to emulate the administration adopted by chaliph Umar Abdul Aziz.
