After the yellow shirts rally by Bersih 2.0 to protest against corruption in the government and a government-backed counter-rally by the red shirts, PAS will be holding its own green rally tomorrow.

Having to struggle with an internal split, the Islamist party had chosen to steer clear of both rallies.

An active mobiliser in all previous Bersih rallies and whose president the late Fadzil Noor was one of the key organisers for the first rally in 2007 ( photo ), PAS was visibly absent from the Bersih 4 protest on Aug 30 and 31.

It also did not entertain the red shirts’ counter-protest which took place on Sept 16.

Tomorrow's gathering will be PAS' first major rally since its internal strife which began in July that led to the formation of splinter Parti Amanah Negara.

Parti Amanah Negara comprised of former senior PAS leaders from the progressive faction that were purged after the conservative faction swept to power.

The green rally tomorrow which will take place in PAS' stronghold of Kota Baru in Kelantan will be aimed at galvanising its support base.

This was amid Amanah having recruited some 50,000 new members, 12,000 of which were from Kelantan and mostly being former PAS members.

PAS sees Amanah as a product of DAP's interference in the party's internal affairs and had since severed ties with the party, leading to the disintegration of opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat.

A new coalition had since been formed under the name of Pakatan Harapan, comprising DAP, PKR and Amanah.

PAS, which now only has indirect relations with PKR, is determined to go it alone and rebuild its internal strength.

The rally tomorrow dubbed ‘Himpunan Fastaqim’ will bring together its support base at Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium beginning 3pm.

The rally is expected to feature speeches, Islamic performances, and prayers, but the central focus will be on PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang ( photo ), who is expected to deliver a speech near midnight.

Abdul Hadi is expected to lay out PAS' direction in a post-Pakatan Rakyat political scenario and may shed more light on where he intends to take the party next.
