SPEAK UP ON ALLEGATION, AZMIN TOLD
CHALLENGE: Kita president seeks the truth

KUALA LUMPUR: PARTI Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali  should clear the air  over his wife's alleged affair with opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Parti Kesejahteraan Insan Tanah Air (Kita) president Zamil Ibrahim yesterday challenged Azmin to issue a statement refuting the allegation.

"If he (Azmin) can criticise Barisan Nasional when its members fail to answer allegations against them, then he should be brave enough to speak out against this allegation if it is a lie.

"He needs to take up this challenge if he is not a coward as described by Senator Datuk S. Nallakaruppan."

Zamil said he was puzzled as to why Azmin had refused to sue Nallakaruppan if the allegation was untrue.

"It's disgraceful behaviour."

Zamil also urged Azmin's sister, Ummi Hafilda Ali, who has a long-standing feud with her brother over the supposed affair, to contest against Azmin in the Gombak parliamentary constituency.

Azmin, when contacted, refused to comment on the allegation.

"Stop slander and gutter politics," he said via a text message.
