Pakatan MPs will take their oath in 13th Paliament sitting - Karpal

Pakatan Rakyat Member of Parliament (MP) will not boycott the 13th parliament sitting, said DAP Chairman Karpal Singh.

Karpal said the opposition MPs from the DAP, PKR and PAS were expected to take their oath in Parliament in June 24.

"To my knowledge, all of them including the PKR advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will attend the parliament sitting," the MP for Bukit Gelugor told reporters during his weekly visit in Air Itam market, here today.

Karpal was responding to a report which said that PKR MPs might consider to boycott the swearing-in ceremony in the new session of Parliament which begins on June 24.

He also said that Anwar as the opposition leader, would issue a statement on the matter soon.

Meanwhile, Karpal said the "Black 505 rally" would still go on at Padang Merbok on June 22 despite 'police interference'.

He said PKR should be allowed to have its rally peacefully.

"Confrontation between police and PKR will become of national interest," he said.
