KUALA LUMPUR: Pas rejects any form of cooperation that is divisive and deviates from the original Muafakat Nasional (MN) set up, its president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang said today.
He said Pas also rejects disunited alliances or groups disloyal to the country by taking on extreme views that challenged race and religion.
In this regard, Abdul Hadi called upon all Muslim groups to save the country by throwing their support behind Islamic-based Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu).
"Without wasting further time, this call to save the nation also goes out to non-extremist non-Muslims."
"Come join this new (political choice), one that is with integrity, is welfare-oriented, upholds the Constitution and celebrates a multi-racial and multi-religious society," he said in a Facebook posting.
Abdul Hadi said Pas will not entertain those who spend time playing sideline and street politics, which he added only unsettled the people without considering environmental and health calamities that are still afflicting the nation.
He said the party also rejects agendas championed solely to save political personalities and their group of followers.
"Pas' stand is very clear, the party has no intention of saving individuals or factions. Our aim is to save as many people as possible.
"As such, if there are those with narrow and limited minds, they must be left behind for sure," he said.
Yesterday, UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in a Facebook posting asked UMNO's partner in MN to think carefully on the importance of defending the original idea of MN.
"Learn from the past story of Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah and Semangat 46 which failed because the political alliance was not genuine and formed dishonestly," he said, while adding that UMNO was serious in wanting to strengthen the MN alliance formed in 2019.
He said MN's various successes included many victories in by-elections and joint efforts to champion the interests of the people, and went on to add that MN had even gained the confidence of the various races and religions that what MN could offer was genuine.
