A man claiming to be a former 'special aide' to PKR de-facto leader Anwar Ibrahim and declared that he was quitting the party last week had actually already quit the party twice.
According to Permatang Pauh PKR vice-chairman Abdul Jalil Che Ros, N. Ponnusamy who claimed to have led an 'exodus' of PKR's Indian members in Seberang Jaya was a 'seasoned quitter', and had twice declared to the UMNO-controlled media that he was quitting the party.
Abdul Jalil, denying that Ponnusamy held the post of 'special aide' to Anwar, said there was also no such post as leader of the 'Indian members' of PKR as claimed by Ponnusamy.
It was reported earlier that some 1,200 Indian PKR members from the Permatang Pauh division quit the party to support BN, claiming that the leadership does not look into the community's welfare.
But Abdul Jalil said the division only has 440 members of Indian background.
He said prior to this, Ponnusamy had declared quitting PKR saying he had lost trust in Anwar's leadership. And several months back, he announced that he and 200 PKR members from Permatang Pauh were joining DAP to protest against Penang's deputy chief minister I Mansor Othman, who he accused of ignoring the plight of Indians.
