PKR: Asyraf must clarify claims PH had questioned King's power over pardons
KUALA LUMPUR: PKR wants Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki to clarify his claim that Pakatan Harapan had questioned the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s power to grant pardons.
PKR is asking Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki to clarify his statement that Pakatan Harapan questioned the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's power to grant pardons. Danish Hairudin, PKR Youth information chief, said Umno secretary-general Asyraf should explain himself after Pakatan Harapan was accused of making a statement it never issued. PKAN's statement focused on corruption, abuse of power, court sentencing and the rule of law, not questioning the King, stressed Danish.
Asyraf was quoted as saying PH had belittled and questioned the institution of the Malay Rulers for political interest, contradicting the principles in the unity government's formation pact. Danish advised Asyraf not to shift the goalposts when cornered and urged him to respect the Federal Constitution and the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's institution.
