Dr M says Indian Muslim alliance will give GTA a big win

 

Dr Mahathir Mohamad said organisations such as Iman hope their struggle and voice will be accepted by the government of the day.

KUALA LUMPUR: Dr Mahathir Mohamad is convinced that the presence of the national Indian Muslim Alliance Party (Iman) in Gerakan Tanah Air would help the coalition record a big win in the coming general election.

Mahathir, who is GTA chairman, said his confidence was based on the large number of Iman members throughout the country, and the Indian Muslim community’s willingness to ensure that their voice is heard at all levels of government.

“We know non-governmental organisations like Iman are not involved directly in politics, their only hope is that their struggle and voice will be accepted by any government leading the country. So I’m convinced that the Indian Muslim community will play a big role in GE15 and will determine if GTA or Pejuang is victorious,” the former prime minister said at a dinner here last night.

Pejuang president Mukhriz Mahathir, Iman president Mohammed Mosin Abdul Razak, Putra president Ibrahim Ali and Berjasa president Zamani Ibrahim were among those at the dinner.
