KUALA LUMPUR : PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has today denied reports by Al - Wathan newspaper that alleged he is now the Muslim Brotherhood's international secretary-general.
He said , although he and PAS supports democracy and opposed the illegal coup in Egypt, the claim that he has been sworn in as the Muslim Brotherhood's international sec-gen was totally absurd.
"I strenuosly deny this, and this news is false and extremely saddening. I t is impossible for me, who is based in South-East Asia to be directly involved in what is happening in Egypt.
"We do not go interfering (in the Egypt crisis), we are only fighting for the rights of the people, which is being fought for by not only PAS but many other parties in West who wants democracy returned in Egypt.
"They want to link us to Ikhwan, and it could not be true as Ikhwan is involved in the affairs of the Middle East, whereas I am not based there, so the allegation is unrealistic," he said in the parliament lobby today
