DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang has challenged Umno information chief Annuar Musa to a joint press conference within the next 48 hours.
This comes after Annuar rejected Lim's offer to speak at the party's information sessions on the 1990s foreign exchange (forex) scandal yesterday.
He had said that Umno does not welcome at its events those who do not uphold the Federal Constitution and Rukunegara and disrespect syariah law and Islam.
"Does Annuar know that he had told eight lies in his statement yesterday?
"I am prepared to point out the eight lies in his statement in a joint media conference by the both of us.
"Annuar can just name the place and time within the next 48 hours and I will be there," Lim said in a statement today.
