Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim (left) told reporters this when met at the PKR Hari Raya open house at Tropicana Petaling Jaya today.He added that the meeting was initially planned to discuss the upcoming 2012 budget that the PM will announce on 7 Oct and Pakatan's own pre-emptive budget.
The Permatang Pauh parliamentarian was asked to respond to DAP's Bukit Gelogor MP Karpal Singh who had yesterday called for an emergency Pakatan meeting to discuss the hudud controversy.
Anwar also said it is Karpal's right to voice his opinions on the matter.
He also said he will discuss the DAP leader's opinion with him during the meeting.
Hudud Umno's diversion
Also at the open house, PAS Youth chief Nasruddin Hassan said that hudud is part and parcel of the Islamic faith and it is the duty of all Muslims to discuss and know.
However, he said that the issue should not have been "politicised or polemicised" but instead discussed in detail and in the proper manner.
Nasruddin (left) posits that only the BN government is keen to play up the matter in the media in order to obfuscate more important matters like fake ICs of dubiuos voters and the ISA.
He reiterated the Islamic party's stand that as Islam is the agenda, they hope to see hudud implemented one day, but allayed allegations and fears that hudud will adversely affect non-Muslims.
"This is for Muslims," assured Nasruddin.
