PKR leadership has attributed the Home Ministry move towards investigating PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim's alleged links to militant Muslim groups as a witch hunt.
While campaigning during the Tenang by-election, Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said that the country's Special Branch and the government's anti-terrorism taskforce had begun probing a report alleging Anwar has links with international terrorist groups.
The remarks were made following a CNN report that it had sighted a document purporting a secret Saudi Arabian probe had been launched into complaints by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak that Saudi personalities were funding Anwar.
The CNN report said that the probe found no such evidence.
