Dr Jeffrey who is also the Bingkor assemblyman contended that while it is the right of the prime minister to call anybody a patriot for being loyal to him and his party, he nonetheless shouldn’t question the loyalty of those who cast doubt on his leadership and the government, by labelling them as traitors.
