KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Pejuang Tanah Air is distancing itself from the latest development in the country's political landscape following the decision by Umno to pull its support from the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.
Instead, its president Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir reiterated the party's proposal for the setting-up of a National Recovery Council to address and resolve the crisis affecting the people caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
"Pejuang upholds the call by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong that focus should be given in resolving health and economic crisis that affected the people for more than 17 months due to the pandemic.
"This is indeed what has been proposed by Pejuang for the setting-up of the National Recovery Council made up of experts who focus on resolving these issues.
"In the spirit of prioritising the people, Pejuang has adopted a stance to refrain from commenting on the latest development triggered by several political leaders," Mukhriz said in a statement that was shared on Pejuang's official Facebook account.
Though Mukhriz did not made any reference, it is believed that the Jerlun member of parliament was referring to the decision by Umno to withdraw its support from PN and Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
