PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan has questioned whether the people want "convict" PKR president Anwar Ibrahim as a future prime minister.
Takiyuddin made the remarks at a ceramah in Taman Indah, Sandakan on Wednesday.
"There is someone who dreams to be a prime minister. When he got out of prison, I don't know how he got a pardon from the Agong.
"He contested in the Port Dickson by-election by forcing the MP who won in the 14th general election to step down.
"As a lawyer, we know that when someone comes out from prison, his status for life is a convict.
"So do we want someone like this to be prime minister?" he asked, to which the crowd replied "No."
He said the conviction against the prime ministerial hopeful was made by the Federal Court, which made it an unquestionable decision.
This is in reference to the Federal Court's decision to uphold the Court of Appeal's move to overturn Anwar's acquittal for the Sodomy II case. He was sentenced to five-years jail in 2015.
However, following Pakatan Harapan's victory in last year's general election, Anwar was granted a full pardon by then Agong, Kelantan's Sultan Muhammad V.
The pardon was given on the grounds that there Anwar was the victim of a miscarriage of justice.
The PKR leader later claimed that the pardon took effect from 1998 thus providing him with a clean slate. - Mkini
