Bersih 5 has deviated from original struggle, says PAS

PAS said the organisers of Bersih 5 had deviated from their original struggle, hence why the party decided against joining the Nov 19 rally.

Its secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan said PAS also frowned on Bersih 4 participants' action of stomping on images of the country's top leader.

"Other than deviating from the original focus, the participants at the Bersih 4 last time also stomped on photographs of the country's top leader, which we cannot accept," he said last night.

He was met by reporters after a discourse, '26 Tahun Pentadbiran PAS Kelantan - Membangun Bersama Islam'.

Also present at the event were PAS spiritual adviser Hashim Jasin, Kelantan Menteri Besar Ahmad Yakob and his deputy Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah.

Takiyuddin said PAS was invited to the meeting on Bersih 5 but the party through its representative informed the organisers that it did not want to be part of it.

Meanwhile, he said PAS did not meet nor was it was contacted officially by Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) to work together.
