KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) is not worried about former members joining Umno.
Commenting on the move by Anuar Shaari and Khairul Anuar Ramli, the two former PKR members who joined former PKR Youth chief Mohamad Ezam Mohd Nor in submitting their applications to join Umno, vice-president Azmin Ali said they ceased to be PKR members a long time ago.
"This is irrelevant to me. I don't see this as a big deal as they were no longer party members."
He questioned their credibility, saying that some of them were former Umno members who were with PKR, and then left to rejoin Umno.
"These characters kept on rejoining Umno. It is just a political gimmick," he said.
He said the action of the three men was no indication that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the de facto Pakatan Rakyat leader, had failed to get Barisan Nasional leaders to cross over.
"The time-frame given was until Sept 16 and we are taking our time to ensure a smooth transition.
"In between, if they want to have a sandiwara with non-PKR members, that is their choice. We are busy with our work in strengthening the administration of the five Pakatan states."
