PAS leader has hit back at Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi after the latter mockingly referred to the Islamic party as a group of pious men.<\/p>\n
PAS vice-president Amar Nik Abdullah said there were harsher labels than \u201cPak Lebai\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, being referred to as \u2018Parti Pak Lebai\u2019 is not insulting,\u201d he said at an event in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, last night.<\/p>\n
Amar said at least PAS was not a party of \u201cpolitical bandits\u201d, in an apparent reference to Umno leaders faced with allegations of corruption.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Zahid said Barisan Nasional would reject any overtures from PAS after the 15th general election as the Islamic party was \u201cunfaithful\u201d.<\/p>\n
Referring to the party as \u201cPak Lebai\u201d, he said PAS leaders were often fickle-minded in their stance and had a tendency to manipulate Quranic verses and hadiths to suit their own purposes.<\/p>\n
Amar warned PAS\u2019 critics that the Islamic party would soon change the political landscape in the coming general election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
