He said besides Abdullah, who is also BN chairperson, Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak will also be invited to the gathering.

"Similar meetings will be held in all the states in stages," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.

Samy Vellu said the prime minister would also deliver an important address at the Jan 20 gathering.
