Pro-tem Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) president Mukhriz Mahathir has defended his father Dr Mahathir Mohamad after PKR blamed the former premier for the ongoing defections of MPs to Bersatu.

Mukhriz said Nik Nazmi appeared keen on blaming everyone, including Mahathir, for PKR’s own problems.

Mukhriz had taken issue with PKR’s Setiawangsa MP who claimed Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was taking a page out of Mahathir’s playbook.
