PAS-DAP dispute does not affect opposition pact, says Anwar

Share



PKR adviser Anwar Ibrahim said the dispute between PAS and DAP leaders over certain matters would not affect harmony in the opposition pact.

He said PAS, DAP and PKR had reached an understanding over policy matters involving administration, Islam as the federal religion and the position of the Syariah Court.

"There are differences in opinion over certain matters and these can be resolved through discussions," he said after opening a seminar on "New Hope for Malaysia" (Seminar Harapan Baru Untuk Malaysia - SEHARUM) 2010 for Terengganu PKR leaders, here, today.

He said the disagreement between PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat and DAP chairman Karpal Singh over the Islamic state issue was deliberately raised by the opposition's enemies to create friction among the opposition allies.

"This issue had been there for 20 years now and it has not affected the opposition. We could see this from the results of the Kuala Terengganu and Sibu by-elections," he said, adding that a meeting involving the three parties was also held each week.

Anwar, who is also the Permatang Pauh MP, said the opposition was gearing its members in preparing for the next general election, including strengthening its position in Melaka, Negri Sembilan and Johor.

He said besides PKR, PAS and DAP were also stronger in these three states now compared to before the 2008 general election
