PKR member Latheefa Koya should not have publicly criticised party president Anwar Ibrahim, said a group of grassroots leaders.
"We respect her right to speak out. In PKR, anyone can criticise the leadership, but it must go through proper channels.
"She should have used proper channels instead of making it public where it can be manipulated by the media," Klang PKR information chief Mohd Farazi Mohd Shah told reporters.
He was speaking to the media after the Klang and Indera Makhota divisions filed a complaint with the party's disciplinary board at the PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya today.
The complaint against Latheefa was over her accusation that Anwar practiced cronyism and nepotism in appointing state party chiefs.
Hours after her statement on Monday, Anwar's daughter, Nurul Izzah, announced her resignation as PKR vice-president and the party's Penang chief.
Later that day, Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Karim also turned down his appointment as the Johor PKR chief, claiming that the selection process for state heads was not transparent.
Yesterday, Nurul told Malaysiakini that she would not retract her decision despite 13 Penang PKR divisions appealing for her to do so.
"I am touched (by the appeals). But, no," she said.
