'Hadi's challenge a political gimmick'
PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang saying he is willing to challenge Prime Minister and Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for the Pekan parliamentary seat in the upcoming general election is a mere political gimmick, said Terengganu BN Datuk Seri Ahmad Said.
Ahmad, who is also Terengganu Menteri Besar, said if it was true that Hadi wanted to contest there, he did not neet to get PAS' approval as he is the party's president.
"This is another of PAS' gimmicks. No need to entertain this. He should just walk the talk. If he really does it he must be having a "death wish"," he told reporters after attending a state-level Deepavali open house here last night.
Hadi is currently the MP for Marang and assemblyman for Rhu Rendang.
