Bersatu says Pas may breach PN constitution over Melaka seat talks
KUALA LUMPUR: Bersatu has said Pas will be in breach of Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) constitution if the Islamic party proceeds with Melaka election seat negotiations without involving the party in the discussions.
KUALA LUMPUR - Bersatu has warned that the Pas party could violate Perikatan Nasional's (PN) constitution if they proceed with Melaka election seat negotiations without including Bersatu. Information chief Datuk Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz stated that as a PN member, Bersatu is entitled to all rights under Clause 7 of the coalition's constitution.
He emphasized that excluding Bersatu from these negotiations would be a repeat of past actions taken before the Negri Sembilan election. Faisal also criticized inconsistent statements within PN leadership, noting that the differing positions of Pas president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang and PN chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar reflected poorly on the coalition.
This followed PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan's announcement that PN discussions with Barisan Nasional (BN) on Melaka elections would not involve Bersatu. The Registrar of Societies confirmed receiving a complaint from Bersatu about its membership status in PN, including allegations of exclusion from a PN Supreme Council meeting on July 16.
