A week after the government labelled Bersih 3.0 as violent rioters, with images of a smashed police car and motorcycle splashed across the country's news front pages, Pakatan Rakyat will go on the offensive with a counter-propaganda campaign.

NONE "The people who have become victims of police brutality and violence are being attacked in the Umno and BN-controlled media, while the perpetrators of violence are being protected," said PKR strategic director Rafizi Ramli.

Following this, Rafizi said PKR will lead Pakatan Rakyat on a nationwide blitz to "bring the good news" of the Bersih 3.0 protest that took place on April 28.

"Other than focussing on the success of the rakyat in demanding for democratisation as voiced through Bersih 3.0, PKR will also screen in detail acts of violence perpetrated by the authorities (during the rally)," he said.

NONE Rafizi ( left )  added the ceramah will also address developments in the Scorpene scandal involving Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

The blitz will debut with the launching of its ceramah series entitled ‘Merdeka Rakyat: Post-Bersih 3.0' on May 7 at Padang Kampung Baru, Batu Caves, Gombak at 9pm.

PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim will launch the event that will also see senior leaders from PAS and DAP attending.

"Anwar is also expected to make an important announcement about the position of the Election Commission (EC) chairperson and deputy chairperson," he said.

Website Free Malaysia Today yesterday reported a source claiming that the announcement is related to a lawsuit that PKR will file in a bid to disqualify the two top EC executives on the grounds that they are allegedly Umno members and hence partisan.

Meanwhile Rafizi said, “The ceramah series and the ‘Merdeka Rakyat: Post-Bersih 3.0' road show will be taken across the country to ensure the fire of the rakyat's demand for a fair democratic process will continue to burn."
