Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud gave directives to suspend a writer for using excessive language in lauding him, according to Sabq newspaper.
The Saudi leader sent a letter to the Minister of Culture and Information, directing him to take the necessary measures against the journalist as well as well as Jazirah newspaper which published the controversial article.
Ramadhan bin Jaridi Al Enzi lauded the Saudi King and used descriptions which are attributed to the Almighty and to Prophet Abraham, which represented a major religious affront. The newspaper as well as the writer later apologised.
