PAS President Makes No Mention Of Hudud In Policy Speech

KOTA BAHARU, Nov 17 (Bernama) -- PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang made no mention of the party's proposal to implement Hudud law in his policy speech at the party's 58th Congress at the Kelantan Islamic Tarbiyah Centre here Friday.

Addressing the 1,116 delegates for about two hours, he focused more on PAS' preparations for the 13th general election and the establishment of a welfare state.

Also present were party spiritual advisor Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, Parti Keadilan Rakyat president Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and DAP national deputy chairman Dr Tan Seng Giaw.

The silence on Hudud law was seen as inconsistent with a statement by PAS Dewan Ulama chief Datuk Harun Taib last night, that the opposition had consented to allow it for implementation, if it formed the next government.

Meanwhile, DAP chairman Karpal Singh stressed that there would be no compromise on his party's stance on the Hudud issue.
