KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan has challenged DAP ministers to resign over their objections to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's house arrest.

He also urged Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to consider advising the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to dismiss ministers whom he accused of questioning the royal pardon granted to Najib.

"Otherwise, we challenge the prime minister to advise the King to dismiss ministers who question the royal pardon," he told a press conference at Parliament building today.

Takiyuddin was commenting on DAP's opposition to Najib serving the remainder of his SRC International prison sentence under house arrest.
