Pakatan
Rakyat Leaders Reaffirm Solidarity with Malaysians
Bhopal, April 15 (Pervez Bari): The leaders of Pakatan Rakyat, an
alliance of three political parties of Malaysia, have reaffirmed their
commitment to implement the broad agenda to develop Malaysia and its
desire to create a prosperous society irrespective of ethnicity,
religion and culture and uphold human rights.
A joint statement issued by Malaysian political leaders Wan Azizah
Ismail, DS Anwar Ibrahim, YB Lim Kit Siang and YB Ustaz Haji Hadi
Awang and circulated through e-mail said the policies of Pakatan
Rakyat are centered on objectives that have been agreed upon and
accepted by the leaders of the three parties that are KeADILan, DAP
and Pas. Among these are to develop Malaysia on the basis of justice,
create opportunities for all citizens to enjoy national prosperity and
to accord priority to those who are poor and marginalized.
Pakatan Rakyat is not the forum nor is it the place for any group or
individual to champion personal ideologies or that of its component
parties. Although there have been individuals who express personal
views that differ from the agreed agenda of Pakatan Rakyat, those
views are clearly personal. They do not represent that of any of the
parties in Pakatan Rakyat.
As such, all leaders and members of Pakatan Rakyat have been directed
to desist from expressing views that contradict those that have been
mutually agreed upon by Pakatan Rakyat, the joint statement said.
There is no one party that is the backbone of Pakatan Rakyat. In fact,
the strength of Pakatan Rakyat is based on principles of equality and
spirit of co-operation among leaders of Pakatan Rakyat in keeping with
the mandate that has been given to us by the people during the 12th
General Elections held recently in Malaysia.
The joint statement said: "Pakatan Rakyat is determined to implement
and bring changes in accordance with the principles of democracy,
socio-economic justice, equal economic opportunities and religious
freedom. This great responsibility will be borne together in keeping
with our pledges made during the 12th General Elections".
"Pakatan Rakyat has moved forward by arranging and strengthening
policies to be implemented by all the State Governments under Pakatan
Rakyat. These will also be adopted by all Pakatan Rakyat Members of
Parliament when Parliament is in session. We will announce a general
declaration of principles at some later date", the joint statement
added. (pervezbari@eth.net)
