PETALING JAYA: Days after being removed as an Umno supreme council member, Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman has trained his sights on the person who axed him.

In a tell-all press conference lasting more than one-and-a-half hours, he claimed there was a movement led by Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan and Datuk Seri Najib Razak to pressure Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi into resigning as party president.Tajuddin alleged that the plot was to collect signatures from division chiefs for a memorandum urging Ahmad Zahid’s resignation, and that preliminary internal party studies had shown that this move was supported by 130 out of 191 Umno division chiefs.
