PAS clarifies Hadi's 'Dajjal' remarks were directed at agreement, not MPs

A PAS MP has stepped forward to defend party president Abdul Hadi Awang against suggestions that he had referred to fellow parliamentarians as 'Dajjal', a term carrying negative religious connotations. The clarification comes after Hadi's comments about a recent political agreement drew scrutiny. According to the MP, Hadi's reference to 'Dajjal-like' characteristics was directed specifically at the nature and terms of the agreement itself, rather than constituting a personal attack on the MPs who were signatories to the deal. The 13 MPs involved in signing the accord with government representatives have faced various reactions from different political quarters since the agreement was announced. PAS, as part of the ruling coalition, has sought to provide context for its leadership's statements on the matter. The party MP emphasized that Hadi's criticism focused on the substance and implications of the agreement rather than the individuals involved in negotiating it. The distinction has become an important point of clarification in Malaysian political discourse, where language and terminology carry significant weight among various constituencies.
