Haniff Khatri: I am not part of any alleged conspiracy by Dr M


PETALING JAYA: Lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla (pic) has denied that he is acting on the behest of Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad by representing the man accusing Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim of sexual misdeeds.

He said that he is acting for Yusoff Rawther as he is a practising lawyer and as such can not refuse to take a brief from any client on any matters "except in an exceptional situation if we are conflicted or may be embarrassed".
