Anwar: Hypocrite Najib didn’t sign peace deal

G Vinod | May 27, 2013
The PKR supremo says that he was willing to sign a peace deal with the prime minister, with several conditions, but claimed the latter was unwilling.
PETALING JAYA: PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim today alleged that it was hypocritical for Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to accuse him of breaking a peace deal when the latter did not sign on anything.
“I was prepared to sign any pledge if needed but Najib didn’t sign anything.
“So he should be the last person talking about cheating and lying,” said Anwar.
Also present were PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, vice president Tian Chua and supreme council member R Sivarasa.
On Saturday, Wall Street Journal quoted former Indonesian vice president Jusuf Kalla who claimed that Anwar had reneged on a secret peace deal brokered by him between the PKR leader and Najib.
Anwar, a former deputy prime minister, said that Jusuf had approached both parties individually to broker the peace agreement between the leaders.
“Jusuf came to see me about a month before the general election.
“I agreed to the deal but attached several conditions to it,” he said.
The conditions were that the government should be ethical in its campaigning by not indulging in personal attacks, grant equal access to media, run a free and fair election and ensure a smooth transition of power to the winning party without the risk of political persecution.
“But look at what happened. Did we receive equal access to the media? Or did we have free and fair election?
“So who broke the promise?” asked Anwar.
He also clarified that he had signed the deal on his side but claimed that Najib did not do so.
Queried on whether the negotiations involved a unity government, Anwar replied in the negative.
“Nothing on power sharing or unity government,” said Anwar.
More rallies planned
On another matter, the Permatang Pauh MP also dismissed the notion that the Black 505 rally on Saturday was the last one to be held on the electoral fraud.
“We have yet to cover Perlis, Kelantan, Sabah and Sarawak,” he said.
Queried on PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu’s call to hold a rally at Dataran Merdeka, Anwar said that the matter was yet to be discussed at the Pakatan Rakyat presidential council.
