PAS President Ticks Off Pro-Umno Ulama

KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has described ulama who support Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) as people who lack understanding of Islamic political principles.
He claimed that despite their knowledge, they failed to understand that certain modern ideologies and theories were contrary to Islam.
"PAS ulama council members should be ready to confront ulama who just sit idly by as the society is overrun by all sorts of vices," he said in his policy speech at the party's 57th muktamar (General Assembly) here Friday.
The council should try to get more people to join the party's struggle, he said, adding that the body should also work towards elucidating complex issues of the day.
Abdul Hadi also urged PAS women members to give attention to social issues affecting women, youths and other groups.
The PAS president also vowed to maintain the opposition pact's grip on Kelantan, Kedah, Selangor and Penang in the next general election.
"The general assembly is taking place amid anticipation that the country's 13th general election will be held soon. The fight is going to be brutal,"
He ordered PAS election machinery to prepare for the election.
"Although the outcome of the Sarawak election was not in our favour, we still managed to widen our influence in general, opening up a number of PAS branches in the process," he said.
Abdul Hadi also expressed hope that the establishment of the council of PAS supporters would play a role in conveying the party's messages to non-Muslims.
