A pro-Umno NGO has lodged a police report against Selangor menteri besar Mohamed Azmin Ali over his claims that prime minister Najib Abdul Razak had a hand in the fracas which erupted during last Sunday's Nothing to Hide 2.0.
Gerakan Akar Umbi Umno Malaysia (Gaum) chairperson Zulkarnain Mahdar later described Azmin's allegations against Najib as malicious slander.
"Leaders like Azmin Ali, I think you all know that he is making a baseless allegation.
"Until today I cannot understand why Azmin can make such a statement as if it has anything to do with him," he told reporters outside Sri Petaling police station.
Zulkarnain further said he had waited until today for the organiser, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) youth wing, as well as Azmin, who are yet to furnish any evidence to accuse Najib of being responsible for the fracas.
Azmin had last Sunday accused Najib of using gangster-like tactics to silence former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
While Mahathir was answering a question on the Memali tragedy in Baling, slippers were suddenly hurled at his direction.
The situation quickly escalated as Bersatu supporters were riled by the incident and attempted to confront the suspected provocateurs.
Soon bottles and chairs were also seen being hurled at Mahathir's direction from the floor.
At least two flares were also released at the venue, turning the hall into a red glow.
Bersatu supporters later detained three suspected troublemakers, who appeared to have suffered some beating.
The suspects, two of whom were clad in Bersatu T-shirt, were handed over to the police.
The Shah Alam police later said the three suspects were aged between 17 and 19. - Mkini
