PUTRAJAYA, July 12 (Bernama) -- The Home Ministry on Monday gave the PAS party organ, Harakah, seven days to reply to its show-cause letter on the publication and distribution of the newspaper of which the permit had expired.
The ministry's secretary-general Datuk Seri Mahmood Adam said the grace period to reply to the letter was from Monday, failing which stern action would be taken against Harakah including suspending its publication.
He said although PAS secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali and Harakah managing director Datuk Kamaruddin Jaafar came to the ministry today to explain Harakah's case, the ministry still required a written explanation to facilitate its investigation.
