Dr Mahathir Mohamad has distanced himself from Mukhriz’s political moves saying that he has nothing to do with his son’s plans to bring Pejuang into Perikatan Nasional.
The former prime minister said Mukhriz, as Pejuang president, was free to do what he deemed fit for his party as Malaysia is a democratic country.
“We are a free country. He can do whatever he likes; whether it will be well received or not is another question,’’ he told a press conference after attending the ‘Dialog Sepentas Perjuangan Yang Hilang’ event in Putrajaya today.
According to media reports, Mukhriz had sent a membership application to PN chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin on March 1, with copies of the letter extended to PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and Gerakan president Dominic Lau.
On Feb 10, Mahathir left Pejuang after the party he founded decided to quit the Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) coalition.
The nonagenarian then joined Putra on March 1 to continue with his struggle for Malay rights.
