Umno has firmly rejected assertions that it played any role in attempts to destabilise the Negri Sembilan state government, party secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said today.

The dismissal comes amid allegations that the ruling coalition's largest component party was involved in manoeuvres against the state administration. Datuk Dr Asyraf's statement represents the party's clearest disavowal of such claims to date.
