UMNO Secretary General Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said in a statement said, Clause 20.7 of the Umno constitution which states that any party member who brings party affairs to the court will immediately lose their membership.
He said Anina's action in bringing the matter to court, has resulted in her automatically losing her membership.
