Mugilan Challenges Samy Vellu To Sack MIC Members Who Attend Gas Gathering

PETALING JAYA, May 28 (Bernama) -- Former MIC Youth deputy chief V. Mugilan who was sacked by MIC President Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, has challenged the party supremo to sack MIC members who attend the Gerakan Anti Samy Vellu (GAS) gathering on Sunday.

Mugilan said he was ready to assist the MIC President in identifying MIC members who attended the meeting since 80 per cent would be MIC members.

"Bring the officers from party headquarters. Bring the registration list, we can check one by one with their Mykad or ICs.

"I am confident that 80 per cent of those attending the gathering would be MIC members. So, I challenge Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu to sack all members who attend the gathering," he told reporters when announcing a new venue for the GAS gathering here Friday.

The GAS meeting that was initially scheduled to be held at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) on Sunday (2pm), has been shifted to The Mines Convention Centre in Seri Kembangan on the same day, after the PWTC management decided to cancel the booking.

Mugilan, organiser of the GAS movement said, following the switch in venue, the gathering was expected to draw about 15,000 supporters, well beyond the initial target of 10,000.

"I urge all CWC members to join me in calling Samy Vellu to resign. In 2012 I am confident the delegates would not vote for CWC members who keep quiet," he said.

Asked if the movement had adequate resources to thwart any interruption during the meeting, Mugilan said he was confident that police would be able to restore order because a permit has been issued for the meeting.

Speaking of MIC secretary-general S. Murugesan statement on the action by Samy Vellu to sack four CWC members, Mugilan said his criticism would add strength to the movement's cause.

"Murugesan and I are good friends. He is a fighter too. But I have my way, he has his. Murugesan made the statement on his own accord," he said.
