Wanita Gerakan Secretary General Jayanthi Devi Balaguru today questions the de facto leader of Pakatan Rakyat, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s role in this proposed upcoming BERSIH 2.0 rally, Jayanthi was referring to the statement made by Anwar Ibrahim where he said he would ask Bersih 2.0 chief S Ambiga to call off the the rally if the Prime Minister could promise clean and fair elections in the future.

Jayanthi who is also Vice Chairman of Gerakan Central Bureau on the Law and Human Rights expresses her curiosity on the status and the control Anwar Ibrahim declares over BERSIH, if not, why and how could he make such dictatorship statement? Jayanthi also argued that if the elections are really so unfair as claimed by BERSIH and opposition parties, then how did Pakatan Rakyat manage to take over the government power of 5 states and denied the 2/3 majority to Barisan Nasional government in the 12th General Election?

“For us in Gerakan, we too want clean and fair elections, and we believe that it is important for the Election Commission to show fairness as a body independent from the government. The Election Commission must at all time reflect fairness and transparency and gain back the confidence of the public,” said Jayanthi.
