KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 — PKR is in turmoil again after its controversial Kulim MP Zulkifli Noordin, a man known for his hardline Islamic views, challenged party vice president Sivarasa Rasiah to quit and face off with him in a contest over party policy.

His remarks come a day after Sivarasa reportedly said that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s recent warning to party members to leave and join Umno if they did not agree with PKR policies was directed at the Kulim MP.

“My challenge to YB Siva, I dare you to step down within 24 hours as Vice President and we contest one to one. Let the PKR members decide whether defending and upholding Islam and the Muslim rights is or is not the party policy.

“If I lost then I am more than willing to leave PKR, for a party that do not defend and uphold Islam and the Muslim rights is not the party that I should be associated with,” he said in a statement today
