PETALING JAYA: A defiant Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has hit back at Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan following a gag order issued by the party against him. He said the Pontian MP has no right to silence him as Umno isn't a communist party. Commenting further on the infighting in Umno, Nazri said he was not aligned to anyone and is acting in the best interests of the party. Nazri also reiterated his calls for Ahmad Zahid to resign as party president, saying that his ongoing court case has been a liability to Umno lately. However, Ahmad Zahid and Anwar have since denied the authenticity of the audio recording, and instructed their officers to lodge reports over the matter.
