Umno veteran Sanusi Junid has no qualms with having to face the party disciplinary committee over his critical remarks concerning Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

He was responding to Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor who said that seven party leaders are being monitored for possible disciplinary infractions.

"Let it be. That is his (Tengku Adnan) work.

"If they want to call (me), I don’t care. I like giving lectures," he told reporters at the sidelines of a forum in Kuala Lumpur today.

Sanusi is speculated to be among the seven monitorered after he spoke at a hi-tea event featuring former premier Dr Mahathir Mahathir last Saturday, where Mahathir explained why he wants Najib out.

Tengku Adnan refused to divulge who the seven "leaders" under watch are.

Others speculated to be in the watch list are Mahathir, former deputy prime minister and Umno number two Muhyiddin Yassin, Umno vice president Shafie Apdal, Johor Menteri Besar Khaled Nordin, Kedah Menteri Besar Mukhriz Mahathir and former Umno Wanita chief Rafidah Aziz.
