IPOH: DAP has asked Pas to participate in Bersih 5.0 without any conditions attached. The party is taking this as an initial step in working together again with its opposition ally in facing the upcoming general election.
DAP’s assistant treasurer Nga Kor Ming said any reasons given by Pas to not join the rally would be seen as the party (Pas) being in cahoots with Umno and that the people would definitely know their real agenda.
“If Pas is sincere to work with the opposition, even their president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang should have no doubt in joining the rally.
“If they fail to join us, this shows that the party has distanced itself from the people’s declaration and the opposition allies would move forward without Pas,” he said.
Nga who is also Taiping MP said all the opposition parties including PKR, Parti Amanah Negara and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia have confirmed that they would join in the rally as an effort to show their stand in demanding for fair elections and rejecting corruption.
“We have also asked BN component parties to join us but they have rejected it,” he said in a statement today.
Bersih 5.0 is expected to be held this Nov 19.
