Nik Aziz Insists On EGM

KOTA BAHARU, Oct 24 (Bernama) -- PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said today he was firm in his decision about the party holding an extraordinary general meeting (EGM).

He said he was not bothered that some states were against the idea and that what was important to him was to save the party.

"I will not change my mind on this," he told reporters after opening a new mosque in Kampung Pasir Hor near here Saturday.

Also present was former foreign minister Tan Sri Tengku Ahmad Rithaudden, who bore the cost of building the RM500,000 mosque.

The Kelantan Menteri Besar is calling for the EGM so that the delegates could deliberate on the position of what he called "problematic leaders" in the party, referring to those who attempted to forge a unity government with the Barisan Nasional.

PAS is part of the opposition Pakatan coalition with the other members being the DAP and Parti Keadilan Nasional (PKR).
