PAS Youth is upset with Entrepreneur Development Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz for his accusation in the media that the wing is "dilly dallying" with regards to the logistics of the debate o­n the controversial People's

Religious Schools or Sekolah Agama Rakyat (SAR).

The debate between Nazri, who is also Umno Chendoroh Youth chief and PAS Youth deputy chief Sallahuddin Ayob is set to take place tonight at Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) in Kuala Lumpur.

PAS denied that it was trying to delay the event, saying that it has made ample efforts to ensure that the debate would carry o­n "smoothly and comfortably".

"Actually PAS Youth has always given its utmost cooperation will all parties including Nazri's personal secretary. We have always hosted the tripartite meetings (between us, DBP and Nazri's rep) while Nazri has never offered to host even o­ne meeting," said the wing, in a press statement today.
