DAP Youth Chief, Anthony Loke said that he was upset that Pas youth had initiated the talks with Umno youth adding that they had no idea about the move until he had learnt about it from the press.
Pas youth never mentioned (to us) of any such intention to hold such talks, he told Malaysiakini.
He said even if the talks do not include the issue of unity government, Pas youth should have the courtesy to inform the other Pakatan youth wings on their intention. He stressed that there should be at least some form of communication.
He said that confusion with the grassroots and Pakatan supporters cannot be avoided because the top leadership had resoundingly rejected any talks of unity government last week.
Especially approaching the Manek Urai by-elections where Pas will fight Umno, I dont know why they had to bring it up at this juncture, he said quizzing the timing of the announcement.
Pakatan youth wings were to meet on Monday to discuss the formation of a Pakatan Youth Council but the meeting had to be canceled.
Loke said that he will bring the matter up to Pakatans central committee
