Tun Faisal questions Pas' constitutional compliance amid Bersatu disciplinary action
KUALA LUMPUR: Bersatu information chief Datuk Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz has challenged Pas to prove that it had complied with Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) constitution and respected the rights of its component parties before taking disciplinary action against Bersatu.
Bersatu's chief information officer, Datuk Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz, has questioned the Perikatan Nasional (PN) party's constitutional compliance and respect for component parties' rights before taking disciplinary action against Bersatu. Tun Faisal, in a Facebook post, urged the PN chairman, Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, and secretary-general, Takiyuddin Hassan, to first verify whether Pas itself had violated the coalition's constitution.
He demanded Pas account for its treatment of Bersatu, adherence to PN Supreme Council decisions, and negotiations with external parties without council knowledge or approval. Tun Faisal also questioned whether PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang had acted against council decisions. Tun Faisal's comments came in response to Samsuri's statement that PN would determine disciplinary action against Bersatu after the Melaka election.
Samsuri, Terengganu Menteri Besar, said PN had received complaints from component parties alleging Bersatu had breached the coalition's constitution and code of conduct. These complaints would be discussed at a Supreme Council meeting. Tun Faisal criticized the Registrar of Societies' decision to cancel PN's registration, stating the coalition had failed to prove its innocence or explain why its registration should be retained.
He demanded Pas clarify its negotiations with Umno and Barisan Nasional over the Melaka election and whether the talks had been authorized by the PN Supreme Council. Tun Faisal asked if Pas, as PN chairman and administrator, had again breached the coalition's constitution by violating its provisions.
