PETALING JAYA (Sept 12, 2012): Pakatan Rakyat leadership is treating the dispute between former PAS deputy president Nahsarudin Mat Isa and DAP president Karpal Singh as a personal issue.
Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said his party, PKR will not interfere in the matter and had given PAS and DAP the right to deal with their members.
"Syura Council has made a decision (on Nasharudin) and we will respect that. As PAS and DAP had never interfered with our internal issue, we will take the same stand. Nasha's (Nasharudin) issue is their internal problem to deal with," he told the press conference after the Pakatan Rakyat presidential council meeting today.
The sentiment is also echoed by DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang who gave an assurance that DAP will not interfere or ask for action to be taken against Nasharudin.
"The Karpal - Nasharudin matter is personal. DAP will not interfere in the matter," he said.
On Sunday, PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang told reporters that Nasharudin's position in the party was not discussed in the Syura council meeting on Sunday.
According to Abdul Hadi, the meeting primarily focused on party candidates for the upcoming general election (GE) which will be announced later.
Nasharudin had described Karpal as 'anti-Islam' for his stand against hudud, which PAS is promoting.
The Bukit Gelugor MP responded by saying that he would take Nasharudin to court for claiming that he (Karpal) was against Islam and that as a lawyer, he (Karpal) should know that the implementation of hudud required high standards of proof.
Nasharudin had also created a stir when he accompanied the Prime Minister to Saudi Arabia in July, prompting speculation of him leaving PAS or being sacked from the party.
LA:Karpal VS Nasha.
