KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 — PAS has not ruled out the possibility of establishing a tahaluf siyasi or political co-operation with Umno, the party's spiritual leader Hashim Jasin said.
Hashim said Umno’s support and will to address Islamic issues showed that there was a possibility for both parties to collaborate together.
“Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, when tabling the recent Budget, had used some Islamic verses similarly used by the late PAS spiritual leader Datuk Dr Haron Din,” he was quoted as saying in Utusan Malaysia.
Hashim added that PAS was, in fact, willing to work with any parties that agreed a Muslim must helm the possible pact.
“We are prepared to politically co-operate with not only Umno, but other NGOs as well,” he was quoted as saying.
The PAS Syura Council recently decided to terminate political co-operation with PKR with immediate effect, citing several terms of agreement which PKR had violated.
