ARAU: Pas spiritual leader Datuk Hashim Jasin wants the Islamic party's leaders to use Perikatan Nasional's suspension as an opportunity to strengthen ties between Pas and Umno.
He said there was always ample opportunity to revive the Ummah Unity agenda between the two parties, given that their grassroots ties, particularly in rural areas, remained strong.
However, he said efforts to unite the two parties required a change in attitude among their top leaders to ensure that party interests were not sidelined in favour of personal or family interests.
"I urge Umno and Pas leaders to change the way we think for our own survival.
"If the leaders of both parties set a good example, the people will follow, but if the leaders at the top keep fighting, when will the people be able to unite?" he said when met here.
