KUALA LUMPUR: Umno respects the Pardons Board's decision to reduce the jail sentence and fine for Datuk Seri Najib Razak but will continue to fight to ensure the former prime minister is released from prison, says the Umno supreme council.
It also called on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to join hands with Umno in this effort, said the supreme council after a two-hour meeting chaired by Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to discuss the Pardons Board's decision.
