Hadi-MahaArak Lu Tolong Diam!

By Adib Zalkapli

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 27 — PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang today ticked off Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, saying he should not interfere in the Islamist party rocky leadership crisis.

“Only the party can decide on the leadership,” Hadi told reporters in Parliament.

He was responding to Dr Mahathir’s call yesterday for the PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat to step down because of his age.

Last week the Kelantan mentri besar called on the party to convene a special muktamar to oust certain leaders he claimed to be “problematic.”

“We practice democracy in PAS and we allow everyone to express their views, there had been differences of opinion before and we handled it well,” said Hadi on Nik Aziz’s call.

He said that Nik Aziz as the head of the syura council is responsible in ensuring that the party is run according to the direction set by the body.

“We practice collective leadership and he is still the head of the syura,” said Hadi.
