BATU PAHAT: PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has chastised two Selangor PAS legislators for throwing their support behind PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, labelling the two lackeys and accusing them of having been bought.
“They couldn’t get what they wanted, they stole them from us. They were bought over,” said Abdul Hadi, in what appeared to be a scathing attack at PAS’ Pakatan Rakyat partner, PKR.
His accusation comes two days after warning both PKR and DAP not to betray PAS within the tahaluf siyasi (political cooperation).
In his winding-up speech at PAS 60th muktamar here, Abdul Hadi said the statutory declaration that the two assemblymen had signed in support of Dr Wan Azizah was nothing compared to sumpah bai’ah (loyalty oath).
The loyalty oath is a PAS pledge taken by all its candidates before the general election.
“Didn’t they take the oath? Which one is bigger? The bai’ah or the statutory declaration?” he asked.
Abdul Hadi went on to say that the party had no choice but to intervene in the Selangor crisis even though it had no interest in the mentri besar post.
“We are not hungry for the post although we have more seats compared to PKR. “They have to remember that we are bound by Islamic principles, not just based on rational basis,” he said.
Hulu Klang assemblyman Saari Sungib and Morib assemblyman Hasnol Baharuddin have been criticised by PAS leaders for going against the party the moment they declared support for Dr Wan Azizah.
The two were not seen at the three-day muktamar.
