PETALING JAYA: PAS Chairman Abdul Hadi Awang has said that the party rejects a consensus that is divided and deviates from the original goals of Muafakat Nasional, the coalition he had formed with Umno.
His comments come days after the party announced that it would strengthen its cooperation with the PPBM led by Muhyiddin Yassin to face the upcoming general elections, following calls made at the recent Umno general assembly for the PAS to clearly state its position, with Umno officially stating his intentions not to compete alongside PPBM.
In a statement, the party’s chairman, Abdul Hadi Awang, said he rejected groups that showed disloyalty to the country and prioritized politicking over more pressing issues, an apparent reference to his former ally.
“The PAS rejects the policy that wastes time playing lateral politics,” he said, which comes when there are “natural disasters and a pandemic that is still spreading today.”
“The PAS rejects an agenda that aims only to save the personalities of its leaders and groups, not to save the country and all the people.”
He called on all Muslim groups to join them in their alliance with Perikatan Nasional and Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
“The purpose of PAS is very clear, it is not just to save one person or a small group, but to save as many people as possible.
“So if there are those who are narrow and limited in purpose, they will certainly be left behind,” he said.
Hadi also called on all parties to reject both extremism and liberal ideals that deviate from the “moderate and just” principles of Islam.
