"Wallahi (I swear to Allah), (the claims is) not true.
"I notice there is an effort to create disunity in Bersatu.. There are many slanders being spread to create misunderstanding (among leaders and members of the party).
"If leaders, at all levels, agreed that we can sit at the same table, I believe that Bersatu is okay with that idea," he told Berita Harian.
Ahmad Faizal, who is the former Perak Menteri Besar and former Tambun member of Parliament, was responding to claims that he had attended a meeting in relation to the support by Bersatu MPs towards Anwar and the unity government.
It was reported on Wednesday that Tanjong Karang MP Datuk Dr Zulkafperi Hanapi has become the sixth Parti Pribumi Bersatu (Bersatu) MP to pledge his support to Anwar.
