Pas holds emergency meeting over ties with Bersatu in PN

KUALA LUMPUR: Pas held an emergency meeting today to discuss issues concerning Perikatan Nasional (PN), including the party’s future with its component partner, Bersatu.

It is learnt that the meeting, chaired by Pas president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang in Kuala Terengganu, involved the party’s top leadership, including the Pas Political Bureau and Central Committee.

The meeting, believed to have been called at short notice, started at about 11am in Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu.

Sources said among the Pas leaders in attendance were deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, and vice-president Datuk Idris Ahmad.

It was previously reported that tensions between Pas and Bersatu resurfaced after Hadi reportedly said Pas would re-evaluate its cooperation with Bersatu following several actions by the party led by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, which were seen as violating the spirit of camaraderie within the PN coalition.

The Marang member of Parliament was reported to have said the decision was made following a series of actions by Bersatu deemed “unpleasant” by his party.

In response, Bersatu information chief Datuk Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz reportedly said the party would raise matters concerning its relationship and cooperation with Pas for in-depth discussion during its Political Bureau and Supreme Council meetings in the near future.
