In sacking PKR and DAP Excos and retaining PAS Excos, he meant to show he had the Islamist party's support.
PETALING JAYA: PAS vice-president Husam Musa today lamented that Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim had made use of his party in trying to hold on to power.
He said Khalid’s action of retaining the PAS members in the Selangor Exco and dismissing the DAP and PKR Excos had the potential to break up Pakatan Rakyat.
He meant to show that he still had the support of PAS, Husam added.
“The expulsion of PKR and DAP Excos and the retention of PAS Excos should have been preceded by consultation with the PAS Central Committee and should have been done with the approval of other members of the coalition,” he said in a press statement.
“As far as I know, the PAS central leadership never met to discuss the matter and has not given anyone the mandate to decide on it.
“As such, Khalid has dragged in PAS in his fight for political survival in a way that threatens PAS’s good name.
“If he values PAS’s gesture of friendship, he shouldn’t drag the party down any deeper.”
Husam advised Khalid to “resign honourably because doing so does not mean the end of his political career.”
