Pritam asked a question on the danger of policies being influenced by religion and said he was seeking a restatement from the Government on secularism.
Back in 2019, WP Faisal Manap said that he did not fully agree with the principle of the separation of religion from politics. When pressed by Law Minister Shanmugam at that time to state his position on whether religion and politics should be separate, he refused to give a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer.
It would be good if Mr Pritam Singh can also be clear about his own party stand on secularism and the separation of religion and politics.
It would be good if Pritam can give an assurance that regardless of his party members' religious affiliations, they will always keep religion out of politics.
