PKR Youth Deputy Chief Dr Afif Bahardin has called for a debate on claims by a Umno Youth leader that three individuals were behind the planned ouster of the prime minister.

GEORGE TOWN:

Let’s have a debate on “three individuals” allegedly plotting to topple the prime minister, PKR Youth Deputy Chief Dr Afif Bahardin told his Umno counterpart today.

Dr Afif called on Umno Youth Deputy Chief Khairul Azwan Harun to come for a debate, with PKR willing to sponsor the venue in Penang.

“In reference to the comments made by Khairul, who asserted that a conspiracy of the highest order was afoot to topple the prime minister, we would like to invite him for an open debate.

“The debate would be titled ‘DoJ Summons: A conspiracy to topple the prime minister?’,”Afif said in a statement today.

On July 26, Khairul lodged a police report at the Dang Wangi police headquarters, alleging a plot to topple PM Najib Razak.

He alleged that former Bank Negara Malaysia Governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz, former Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail and former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Chief Abu Kassim Mohamed were believed to be involved in the conspiracy.

Gani denied claims of involvement in such a conspiracy, while Kassim has remained silent.
