MIC secretary-general S Murugesan urges DAP to resolve the issue once and for all or do the honourable thing.
KUALA LUMPUR: DAP leaders’ threat to resign en masse pertaining to the hudud row is nothing more than a charade, according to MIC secretary-general S Murugesan.
“It’s just a ‘sandiwara’, they will not do it,” he said in a statement today.
Going by the modus operandi of Pakatan Rakyat, Murugesan said, the component parties would offer a joint statement claiming that the matter had been resolved without going into the details.
“Both PAS and DAP are playing to their support bases by chest-beating and trying to shore-up their diminishing support,” he added.
Murugesan was responding to DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng who said that the party’s top leader would resign from the Pakatan council if hudud law or the formation of an Islamic state were included in the Pakatan Rakyat’s Buku Jingga common policy framework.
“If there is any mention that we want to implement hudud law in our common policy framework and the Buku Jingga, the party’s entire central committee will resign,” Lim had said.
DAP had always been a strong opponent of the Islamic state agenda, arguing that the Federal Constitution specified Malaysia as a secular state whereas PAS leaders pointed out that the establishment of an Islamic state was the core of the party’s struggle.
Meanwhile, Murugesan challenged the Chinese-dominated DAP to put an end to this issue or quit the opposition coalition.
“DAP must resolve this once and for all. Failing which they must do the honourable thing and leave Pakatan,” he added.
Murugesan said that DAP and PAS’ stand on this issue were at complete odds and go the root of their respective causes.
“If they can’t resolve this, then it is pointless for them to discuss anything else,” he added.
