Kılıçdaroğlu hits back at Uğur Dündar! 'Incorrigible, ambitious person'

Former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has strongly denied reports regarding various claims attributed to him concerning the CHP in recent times and reacted sharply to journalist Uğur Dündar.

In a statement on his social media account, Kılıçdaroğlu stated that reports circulated by citing a "source close to Kılıçdaroğlu" were completely untrue. He also harshly criticized Uğur Dündar's comment, "So the CHP is on the right track," made in response to posts claiming that the CHP had "distanced itself from the people and the people's problems."

'BLINDED BY MALICE'

Kılıçdaroğlu's social media post is as follows:

While our country is struggling with deep crises in every area of life and politics, it is not right to produce baseless rumors about me; to make people forget the real problems of the public and to divert attention elsewhere. I, of course, exempt the valuable and honorable journalists who practice the sacred profession of journalism. But it is my duty to point out the disgrace of incorrigible, ambitious people who are so blinded by malice that they can say, “So the CHP is on the right track!” just to turn a sentence I never said into a smear campaign. I do not want to hurt or refute anyone. But let the valuable members of the press and journalists know that; I do not have a close associate to whom I speak to convey messages to the press regarding the country's agenda and politics, nor do I have such a style. Please do not give credence to rumors about me other than the posts I have made and the interviews I have given."
