Kuala Lumpur: DAP's top leadership will resign en masse if Hudud law or the formation of an Islamic state are ever incorporated in Pakatan Rakyat's common policy framework or "Buku Jingga"."If there is any mention that we want to implement Hudud law in our common policy framework and Buku Jingga, the party's entire central committee will resign," its Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng said.

He said the pact between DAP, PAS and PKR had been agreed upon in "black and white" and was aimed at collaboration on common issues such as justice, the fight against corruption and upholding ruman rights.

"Hudud law was never included in Pakatan's common policy framework and if it is not included, it should not be part of the agenda," he said.

DAP and PAS are at loggerheads over the implementation of hudud law and formation of an Islamic state, after PAS spiritual adviser Datuk Seri Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat recently called for their implementation in Kelantan. PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim shocked his Pakatan allies when he openly supported PAS' plan to implement Hudud law in Kelantan.

However, DAP national chairman Karpal Singh said his party had never accepted hudud or the idea of setting up an Islamic state and neither had Pakatan made an official stand supporting it.
