KUALA LUMPUR: Former PAS deputy president Nasharudin Mat Isa said he would not leave the party to join Umno.

“Do not make a simplistic conclusion from my action, opinion or political gambit,” he said in a statement yesterday.

The Bachok MP said allegations that he was entrapped in the web of Umno agenda was baseless and far from the truth.

Nasharudin and former Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Dr Hassan Mohamed Ali’s dissenting views of late were construed by some PAS members and sympathisers as having steered from the party’s course and deemed as a calculated move to join Umno. Nasharudin said he would remain steadfast in PAS’ struggle. — Bernama
