KUALA LUMPUR - Bersatu chief Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin claims the court cluster cases involving his party are masterminded by Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said the action were among efforts by Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional to cripple Bersatu and Perikatan Nasional (PN) after its rise in the 15th general election (GE15).

"Today Bersatu has become a target of selective prosecution. Accepting political funds are suddenly a criminal offence.

"Several Bersatu leaders were accused in court for receiving fund contributions to perform party activities," he said.

Muhyiddin said it is part of selective prosecution as the ruling PH and BN have received their contributions from businessmen or from the public.

"However, their leadership has not once been accused in court," he said to reporters at the Sessions Court grounds, here, on Tuesday.
