SHAH ALAM: Embattled Malaysia Makkal Sakthi Party (MMSP) central committee members (CCM) recently endorsed a call for unity talks among the two rival factions of the party.
MMSP secretary-general R Kannan said members want peace for the sake of party unity and are keen to see the factions led by founding president RS Thanendiran and suspended deputy president A Vathemurthy sit down for talks.
"The unity talks are very important for the benefit of the party and Malaysian Indians," he said. "As the secretary-general of the party, I've been appointed by central council members to get both sides to the table."
MMSP is facing a leadership crisis with its senior leaders deciding to take over the party from Thanendiran over claims that he was running the party in dictatorial manner.
On Jan 18, 2010, 14 out of 27 CC members of the party, led by deputy president Vathemurthy, voted to revoke the membership of Thanenthiran.
The decision was later declared invalid by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) because proper procedures were not adhered to.
Party image sullied
Meanwhile, according to Kannan, CC members also want action to be taken against Vathemurthy who they claimed was running the party in violation of the constitution.
At a CC meeting last April, Vathemurthy appointed himself president of MMSP and subsequently sacked four CC members who were against him.
Kannan also explained that Vathemurthy confused the party members and the ROS by submitting minutes of meetings without proper endorsement.
"MMSP was officially launched by the Prime Minister. It will not be good if we allow the party's image to be sullied," he said. "I will do whatever I can to unite the factions."
The Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party was founded on May 11, 2009 led by Thanenthiran, a former national coordinator of the Hindu Right Action Force (Hindraf).
