\"http:\/\/buletinonline.net\/images\/stories\/berita28\/2NIK%20AZIZ.jpg\"KOTA BHARU<\/strong> – PAS Murshidul Am Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat has strongly denied a Bernama report stating that he admitted that the party was split<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Sunday, Nik Aziz said the report was based on Bernama\u2019s own twist of what he had said and was not true.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe title and the contents of the report are not true and does not reflect what I said.<\/p>\n

“The whole report is based on Bernama\u2019s personal opinion,” said the Kelantan Menteri Besar.<\/p>\n

The report, which was also carried by several dailies and online news sites, said Nik Aziz “feared that the rift [in PAS] was getting serious and suggested that the party forgo next year\u2019s party election for all posts, including for its ulama, woman and youth wings.”<\/p>\n

It also stated that Nik Aziz wanted leaders chosen through the process of discussions and consultations, “not by nominating leaders to stand for election at the party\u2019s 57th muktamar next year.”<\/p>\n

Hidden agenda<\/p>\n

Nik Aziz explained that he had merely replied to reporters asking about the possibility of top posts in the party being contested at the party’s Muktamar next year.<\/p>\n

While the report had quoted him as saying “\u201cNo need to contest. It\u2019s not good”, Nik Aziz told what he had actually said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf possible do not contest, because it\u2019s not nice to contest, however if there\u2019s a contest, make sure we contest properly, not to the extent of causing a split in the party. This is a heartfelt advice from an old man who does not want to see rift in the party.<\/p>\n

“My own experience in contesting in the Ulama wing not long ago had not been pretty. It will be better to find an alternative to avoid any rift within the party.<\/p>\n

“We can make decision based on shura (mutual consultation) and appoint our leaders in a mass. That\u2019s my suggestion. However I do not know how far shura can work according to the party constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nik Aziz further chided Bernama for having a “hidden agenda” for misreporting what he had said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
