Hadi: Dec 8 rally will be held peacefully

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno and PAS will continue with its Dec 8 demonstration despite recent tensions arising from the riots at the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple and the government’s decision not to ratify the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD).

PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang claimed the demonstration was actually to support Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s decision not to ratify the convention.
