The real agenda behind the president's unity plan, says a MIC division chief, is to finish off his deputy should the latter mount a challenge.
KUALA LUMPUR: MIC president G Palanivel’s move to reunite the different factions in the party is part of a plan to “kill off” his deputy Dr S Subramaniam.
MIC Bagan division chief Henry Benedict Aaasirvatham said the readmission and reinstatement of sacked leaders were done in the name of unity to mislead the Indian community about the real agenda.
The real reason, he stressed, was to get rid off Subramaniam, who is also human resources minister.
“Palanivel knows he is not safe with Subramaniam running around, so he will even roll out the red carpet for the former number two, S Subramaniam to kill Dr Subramaniam,” he said.
Aaasirvatham said with talk circulating that former president S Samy Vellu might back Dr Subramaniam in the party polls for the number one post, Palanivel would need the other Subramaniam to cling on to power.
In return, he added, Subramaniam, like Palanivel, would become a full minister.
During the last party polls, Palanivel, with the strong backing of Samy Vellu, had defeated Subramaniam for the number two post.
After Samy Vellu stepped down last year, Palanivel became acting president.
Meanwhile, Aaasirvatham also slammed MIC’s Central Working Commmittee (CWC) members as mere puppets who followed Palanivel’s instructions.
“The CWC members are not concerned about the community, they are only interested in keeping their posts,” he said, adding that he would not be surprised if the CWC suspended his division.
The Bagan division was suspended by Samy Vellu four years ago because the division was aligned to Subramaniam. But it became active again when Aaasirvatham threatened to join the now-defunct Gerakan Anti-Samy Vellu or GAS.
The division had now landed in the spotlight again when a CWC member alleged that the re-activation was illegal.
