She said by signing the Citizens’ Declaration, the former premier had indirectly admitted that her husband, Anwar Ibrahim, was a victim of injustice.

Wan Azizah was commenting on the Opposition’s collaboration with Mahathir — who was alleged to be the man responsible for putting Anwar behind bars.

She said all 58 signatories had set aside their differences for the common objective of ousting Prime Minister Najib Razak.

“It’s about the country. We set aside our differences as we want to save the country. What has happened has happened,” she said during a press conference at the Parliament lobby here today.

On Mahathir’s refusal to include the release of Anwar as part of the declaration’s agenda, she said it didn’t matter whether the former prime minister agreed to it or not.

“He (Anwar) is a political prisoner to begin with. You release him and that would be the biggest reform.

“Like what Ambiga (former Bar Council President Ambiga Sreenevasan) said during the press conference, if we demand for reforms, then we have to show that we are against injustice.

“The declaration, signed by leaders across the political divide, including Mahathir and other Umno leaders, is an admission that government institutions have been destroyed by the Umno/BN administration.

“Hence, Pakatan Harapan (PH) today has decided that Anwar’s release is the main agenda, which will be carried along with other reformation agendas in our effort to save Malaysia.”

She said PH would be going on a nationwide campaign to demand three things — institutional reform, Anwar’s release and Najib’s resignation.

“We hope Mahathir will join us,” she added, stating that the nationwide “Save Malaysia” tour would start from this month.

Touching on who should replace Najib should the effort to oust him be successful, Wan Azizah said she left that to the people to decide.

The candidate, she said, could be from either the Opposition or BN.

DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang said Mahathir needed the Opposition as it is the bigger bloc.

“How many MPs does he (Mahathir) have?”

Anwar was sentenced to five years in jail on Feb 10, 2015, after the country’s highest court upheld a conviction that found him guilty of sodomising Mohammad Saiful Bukhari Azlan in 2008.

The former deputy prime minister, however, maintained that the charges against him were politically motivated.
