PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat yesterday slammed the DAP for questioning why PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang did not turn up for Pakatan Rakyat presidential council meetings.
   
He said this should not have happened as Hadi would have his reasons.
   
"Did he (Hadi) not attend because he is lazy or sick? He is ill. Why force a person who is ill to attend meetings.
   
"This is the work of stupid people (questioning Hadi's absence)," he told reporters when met at his house in Pulau Melaka in Kota Baru.
   
Prior to this, the the DAP's central executive committee had passed a resolution to pressure Hadi to attend the said meetings.
   
DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng had said Hadi should attend the meetings to ensure Pakatan, made up of DAP, PKR and PAS, could move ahead and gain the confidence of voters.
   
The urging came after Hadi failed to attend the meetings the past few months.
