Action will not be taken against PAS strategist Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki, who has been accused of making racist comments, simply on the basis of complaints from outsiders, a top party leader has said.<\/p>\n
PAS secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali said that disciplinary action against the PAS research centre operations director would only be taken based on internal reports.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t take action based on what outsiders say,\u201d Mustafa said at PAS’ Perantau Hari Raya Gathering, at Kuala Ibai here.<\/p>\n
Datuk Mustaffa said while answering question raised by reporter regarding Zuhdi\u2019s message in a private conversation between PAS central committee members on chat platform WhatsApp, which was leaked on the internet Monday, that a PAS-Umno pact would be able to quell dissent from the DAP and silence churches and minorities effectively.<\/p>\n
Zuhdi had posted a scenario on PAS joining rivals Umno to wrest control of Selangor while retaining embattled Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim as mentri besar.<\/p>\n
PAS central committee member Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz was reported by Utusan today as saying that action should not be taken against Zuhdi because he was a victim of betrayal.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe should prove his innocence instead, and I would support this,\u201d he was quoted saying.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s weak when a few senior politicians from Pakatan ally parties punish him based on the leaked WhatsApp text without looking at the proper context,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In a Facebook posting on Monday to clarify the leaked remarks, Zuhdi said that at least 10 of the PAS central committee members in the conversation had supported a proposal for the Islamist party to leave PR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
