PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali has dismissed rumours that he was sacked from the party, saying that this was the work of irresponsible parties.
He also called on members of the public not to easily fall for such rumours so as to stop the problem.
"(The rumours started) because there are irresponsible parties. So, to solve this problem, we must not easily believe such rumours.
"Especially now, with the new technologies (and) social media, it has made it easier for these irresponsible people to spread fake news," Azmin told reporters after launching Malaysia Airlines' new product named 'Amal' in Sepang today.
Last night, social media channels, including Facebook and Twitter, were abuzz with claims that Azmin, who is the economic affairs minister, was sacked from PKR.
None of these claims cited a source to back the speculation.
Earlier today, PKR communications director Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin told Malaysiakini that the meeting, in which Azmin was purportedly sacked, as claimed on social media, did not even take place last night.
"Rumours remain just that... rumours," Shamsul said.
