KUALA LUMPUR: PKR’s plan to make Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim Prime Minister by Sept
16 is still on track, said the party's vice-president Azmin Ali.
The Gombak MP, however, said with the latest allegations hurled against the de
facto leader, there was some “slowing down of the process”.
“I spoke last night to the four Barisan Nasional MPs who want to crossover and
they said their commitment has not wavered even with the latest fiasco. So far,
there is no change. We are still on track,” he told reporters at the Parliament
lobby.
He said following a rally in Shah Alam on Tuesday night, they
would be holding similar gatherings in Penang on Saturday and Kuala Lumpur a day
after.
He did not dismiss the possibility of street protests.
“Maybe we will use this forum for people to express their anger over what is
happening and what is done by the present (Federal Government) leadership,” he
said.
Azmin also said they were considering the possibility that the Federal
Government might use this as an excuse to crack down on PKR.
He denied that Anwar had orchestrated the sodomy accusations himself so as to
draw the sympathy of the Malays, as what happened 10 years ago.
He said PKR had enough evidence of the people behind the accusations, adding
that PKR president Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail had handed over proof to
the Prime Minister.
In an interview at the lobby, Balik Pulau MP Yusmadi Yusuf called for the
suspension of Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail and Inspector-General
of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan pending investigations into the role they played
in allegedly trying to cover up the assault on Anwar in 1998.
Yusmadi, who is from PKR, said the suspension was important as it would have a
bearing on the “conduct of the investigations”.
