PAS today told incumbent Defence Minister Mohd Zahid Hamidi to put up or shut up in the latter’s claims that opposition leaders had helped agitate the Sulu incursion in Lahad Datu.

NONE "If he has proof, he has to show it. Don't just spew hot air," party secretary-general Mustafa Ali ( left ) said at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

He was responding to Zahid's claims that three Pakatan leaders were allegedly found to have links to the armed incursion into Sabah by Sulu armed terrorists.

On another matter, Mustafa appealed to PAS and DAP leaders to stop giving statements to the media regarding the difference in opinion between their parties toward the implementation of Islamic Hudud law.

“Hudud is a trap set by Umno... whatever we say will be spun by the media sympathetic to Umno.

“The focus is our fight against Umno, against BN. Stay focused and let us not be sidetracked by such matter or risk falling into Umno’s trap,” he said.

Mustafa reiterated that Pakatan already has a common stand on the matter and should not stir the pot any further.

While he admitted that DAP does not agree to Hudud law, he said that the party respected that Hudud is part of Islam which is the basis of PAS’ struggle.

He said that the decision to agree to disagree was made long ago in 2011 and the opposition pact has agreed that it will focus on a common struggle against BN and shared policies in the common policy framework first before further discussion on the policies of individual pact members.
