Hadi claims PAS was blocked from connecting with non-Muslims

SHAH ALAM: PAS has dismissed allegations that it is racist and instead claimed that it was Umno, its partner-turned-rival, that had blocked it from connecting with non-Muslims.

Party president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang said the party’s efforts to reach out to non-Malays and non-Muslims via dialogue sessions had to be halted when Umno was in power.
