PAS will no longer be seen as part of Pakatan Rakyat if it tables the hudud bill in the Kelantan State Assembly on 18.3.2015.
This is because any such bill does not have the backing of Pakatan Rakyat and hudud does not form part of the common policy framework of Pakatan Rakyat.
The tabling of this bill would also go against the agreement reached in the last PR leadership meet where it was clearly understood that there should be further discussions between all 3 parties before any further steps are taken in the matter.
I call upon PAS to show commitment to Pakatan Rakyat. PAS must respect the common policy framework of Pakatan Rakyat. It should also respect decisions made by the PR leadership council.
If PAS carries on with the hudud bill, that would amount to an open and obvious move against the Pakatan Rakyat common policy framework.
If that be the case, those leaders in PAS who are behind this move must then be brave enough to acknowledge that they have pushed PAS to part ways with Pakatan Rakyat and put into question its credibility in terms of projecting itself as a party which is focused on and wants to work towards strengthening Pakatan Rakyat.
PAS shouldn’t warn the DAP to keep out of the affairs of Kelantan. PAS must remember that for as long as it chooses to remain in Pakatan Rakyat, DAP not only has the right but is also duty bound to ensure that PAS does not act in any manner which undermines the common policy framework of Pakatan Rakyat.
