PAS will continue with its aim to establish an Islamic state which is governed by hudud (Islamic criminal laws), said party president Abdul Hadi Awang today.

Responding to the call from ally PRM president Dr Syed Husin Ali to reconsider its stand on the issue, the PAS leader said his party will not abandon its belief that Islam is fair to all races.

He stressed that non-Muslims need not fear as the Islamic guidelines on the implementation of hudud clearly states that it is only applicable to Muslims.

"We have taken (into consideration) the sensitivity of non-Muslims in the country. We reiterate that Islamic laws will only be implemented in a PAS-governed state where the people have democratically agreed to it," he said in a press statement.
