PETALING JAYA: PAS has denied any involvement in the disruption of the Anti-Samy Vellu Movement (GAS) gathering in Klang on July 4.
“There is no such thing,” PAS secretary-general Mustapha Ali said today in response to an allegation by K P Samy, who organised the Klang event.
Samy, a member of MIC's Central Working Committee until he was sacked last May, said yesterday that PAS members were in the group that gate-crashed the gathering and scuttled it. The group’s ringleader was L Siva Subramaniam, the information chief for MIC Selangor.
Mustapha dared Samy to prove his claims. He said PAS members were under instruction to keep clear of the internal politics of other parties.
The PAS Supporters Club has also denied any involvement with Siva’s group.
"If KP Samy has evidence, and if we are able to confirm any members' identities, then we will take action," said Lakshamanan Subramaniam, who heads the club’s Selangor chapter.
However, he added, he was sure that Samy’s allegations were baseless. "He is only making things up," he said.
"If (former MIC deputy youth chief) Mugilan was allowed to contest in the Hulu Selangor by-election, there would have never been such a thing called GAS," Lakshamanan told FMT.
Before joining the PAS Supporters Club in early 2008—before the general election—Lakshamanan had been an MIC member for 25 years. He once held a position in the party’s National Youth Council.
He said he left the party because he was disillusioned with it, and that PAS suited him better.
