Back Khalid or dissolve syura council
Athi Shankar, Free Malaysia Today
A group of PAS demonstrators called on the party leadership to dissolve the syura council if it failed to annul the decision taken at the Aug 17 meeting to nominate PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and deputy Azmin Ali for the menteri besar post.
They want PAS to stick to its original stand and support Abdul Khalid Ibrahim as adopted by the syura council.
The group leader, former Bukit Gelugor independent candidate Mohamed Nabi Bux Mohamed Abdul Sathar, rejected the PAS central committee’s decision to nominate Wan Azizah and Azmin for the post.
Mohamed Nabi Bux said the PAS central committee was dominated by the “Anwarinas”, referring to Parliamentary Opposition and PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim.
The protesters displayed banners in the half-an-hour demonstration outside Masjid Jamek Melayu Lebuh Acheh after Friday prayers.
The protesters called on PAS to expel the Anwar supporters, who were stooges of PKR and DAP.
Mohamed Nabi Bux said the central committee was influenced by an outsider at the meeting on Aug 17.
He said he had received information that the central committee members were busy with their mobile phones while PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang was delivering his speech at the meeting.
“PAS should revert to its original position and support Khalid, otherwise, it will undermine the credibility of the syura council.”
