PAS president Da\u00ad\u00adtuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang (pic) launched a scathing attack against his Pakatan Rakyat allies and slammed two of his own assemblymen for betrayal before the curtain fell on the party\u2019s general assembly here.<\/p>\n
Hadi, who seemed to be in an uncompromising mood, told the 2,100 delegates that PAS was forced to intervene in the Selangor mentri besar crisis to uphold Islamic principles, adding that the party had no interest in the post.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not hungry for the post although we have more seats than PKR in the state assembly,\u201d he said, referring to the 15 held by PAS and 13 by PKR.<\/p>\n
He said that \u201cbrokers and pimps\u201d were used to entice the two PAS elected representatives to sign a statutory declaration supporting PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as the sole nominee for the post. <\/p>\n
The two PAS assemblymen, who signed the declaration, along with representatives from the DAP and PKR, were Saari Sungib (Hulu Kelang) and Hasnul Baharuddin (Morib).<\/p>\n
\u201cThey could not get what they wanted, so they stole our assemblymen; they bought them. There were brokers and there were also pimps,\u201d he said to thunderous applause and shouts of Allah hu akhbar!.<\/p>\n
The PAS president said the statutory declaration they signed in support of Dr Wan Azizah was nothing compared to the sumpah baiah (oath of loyalty) to PAS that they took.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid they not take the pledge? Which one is important? The baiah or the SD?\u201d asked Hadi, to more shouts of Allah hu akbar.<\/p>\n
He said DAP and PKR should not ride on PAS for short-cuts to political gains.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not use us as a hotel to have your meals and stay comfortably and then leave, or use us as a bridge to cross the river before disappearing into the forest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Hadi also said that he was forced to intervene in the mentri besar crisis to prevent PAS from being \u201cdragged into hell\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoever appoints an individual based merely on inclinations and not on qualifications, Allah would not forgive such an act and would condemn that party to hell,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do not want to drag PAS and our members to hell,\u201d he said, adding that the matter should not be viewed lightly as it was a responsibility entrusted by Allah.<\/p>\n
The two parties had been at loggerheads with Hadi lately over the mentri besar issue as he had submitted a list of three names in adhering to a decree by Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.<\/p>\n
The PKR and DAP submitted the name of PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as their sole nominee for the post.<\/p>\n
In an immediate response to Hadi\u2019s speech, Selangor PAS secretary Mohd Khairuddin Othman urged Saari and Hasnul to repent and seek forgiveness from the party leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also want them to retract their SDs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
