This is, despite PAS saying it would push Bersih to hold another demonstration, should the government ignore demands for electoral reforms.
In an interview published by Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on its website today, the former Bar Council president, asked if the group would hold more rallies, said:
"I do not see it happening in the near future."
On an assertion that Bersih was just a front for opposition parties as Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim played a prominent role in Saturday's rally, Sreenevasan said it was unfair (to state as such) because the group had invited all political parties, including Barisan Nasional (BN), to support the rally.
"We invited all political parties, including BN, to support us. How can you say the cause for free and fair elections is only for the opposition?
"It is for everybody. Pakatan Rakyat members are also citizens of this country. Are they not entitled to support a movement for free and fair elections?," she asked.
Despite being denied police permit, Bersih went ahead with an illegal rally last Saturday.
