Isham sacked because he insulted party, not because he criticised me, says Ahmad Zahid

KUALA LUMPUR: Isham Jalil’s sacking from the Umno supreme council was not because he had criticised the Umno president, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

"There is nothing stopping anyone from criticising the Umno President, and there will be no disciplinary action against such criticisms (against me)," said the Umno president, who is also the Deputy Prime Minister.
