BATU PAHAT: No groups should use the division between the professionals and the clerics in PAS to oust certain leaders, deemed not in line with the party’s struggle.
PAS secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali said having both factions within the party was nothing new and such division has never been an issue.
“Do not create lies to oust certain leaders.
“Whoever says the professionals are not needed, they do not understand the dynamics of PAS.
“Whoever says the Ulama are not needed, they also do not understand the dynamics of PAS,” he told the delegates during his winding-up speech at PAS’ 60th Muktamar Saturday.
Mustafa also defended PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu and vice-presidents Datuk Husam Musa and Salahuddin Ayub.
“I need to clear their names as they have been viciously attacked.
“PAS without Ulama is blind, PAS without professional is lame. We need both to strengthen the party,” he said.
PAS vice-president Salahuddin Ayub, in his winding-up speech, said the party should put a stop to allegations that the party is now marred by a group of liberals.
“Who are these liberal leaders? Are they Khalid Samad? Dzulkefly Ahmad? Mujahid Yusof Rawa? Hanipa Maidin?
“Let’s prepare a stage and call them for debates. We can do this closed-door,” he said.
He said the president should act sternly, by sacking those who are found guilty in bringing liberalism into the party.
“We don’t need to take a disciplinary action against them, just sack them,” he said.
