KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 16 — The Kedah Islamic Affairs Department has summoned a vigilante group calling itself the Badar Squad that has been preying on Muslim couples for a meeting next week.

“We will call them in soon to state that what they are doing is not right,” Datuk Ismail Salleh, the Kedah executive councillor in charge of health, rural development, religion and state-linked companies, told the news portal.

“[Taking them to the cemetery] is wrong. It’s not the way of the new government, which holds to the concept of being merciful to all in creation.

“Even when knocking on doors during a raid, there is a standard of procedure. You cannot just do whatever you like,” he was quoted adding.
