  "account": "Urimai chairman P Ramasamy has criticized PAS for the suspension of Perikatan Nasional, stating that the Islamic party bears sole responsibility for the decision. He alleged that PAS made arbitrary choices after assuming the PN chairmanship, even before the Registrar of Societies issued a show-cause notice and suspended the coalition.\n\nRamasamy pointed out that there were deliberate attempts to exclude Bersatu from an active role in PN following the end of PAS's political cooperation in June. He cited Bersatu's complaint to the RoS, which included concerns about its exclusion from the PN Supreme Council meeting on July 16 and membership status within the coalition. The inclusion of Wawasan, without proper deliberation, was also seen as a deliberate attempt to sideline Bersatu, according to Ramasamy.\n\nWhile the political actions might not violate rules, Ramasamy emphasized that the deliberate deviation from the coalition's constitution is the main issue. He accused PAS of employing different sets of laws to maintain dominance and control over PN, suggesting that the party cannot claim victimhood when its conduct in leading PN warrants the suspension.\n\nRamasamy further questioned how a democratic coalition can claim to hold others accountable while refusing to practice accountability within its own ranks. He stressed that a political coalition cannot demand accountability from others while neglecting to practice it internally.",
