S Murali's cheek bone is broken, but not his spirit. The PKR man says he will still pursue B Reshina's case.
SUBANG: The beating that Puchong PKR division chief S Murali received at the hands of MIC Youth members may have broken his cheek bone, but not his resolve.
The former bodybuilder stressed that once he recovered from his surgery on Monday, he would take 17-year-old student B Reshina to the Prime Minister’s Office again to demand that she be issued a MyKad.
When met at the Subang Jaya Medical Centre here, Murali, a former MIC man himself, recounted what happened on Wednesday morning outside the PMO in Putrajaya.
Murali, whose face is still bruised from the attack, claimed that he was set upon by the MIC Youth members when he attempted to defend Reshina and PKR vice-president N Surendran.
‘They are my brothers‘
Describing the experience as “gruesome”, the PKR man however said that he would not seek revenge on his attackers.
“I know all of them [the people who assaulted him] very well. Despite us being in different political camps, I still consider them as my brothers because we are fighting for the same cause [the betterment of the Indian community],” he added.
Murali said that he would let the police investigate the incident, which had tainted the image of MIC Youth.
However, the PKR man claimed that he believes someone higher up had given the MIC Youth members the order to launch the attack but declined to elaborate on this.
“The policemen present had ignored the fight and allowed the MIC Youth members to attack us and at the same time, nobody was arrested. I am shocked that the policemen just stood and watched. Furthermore, it happened in front of the PMO,” he said.
‘She needs her MyKad’
As for Reshina’s case, Murali vowed that whatever happened on Wednesday would not deter PKR from helping her secure a MyKad.
On the contrary, he added, the incident had only made them more determined.
“Despite the school giving Reshina the green light to sit for the SPM examination, our objective is to ensure that she gets her identity card. What can she do with her SPM result without a MyKad? This girl’s future is at stake,” he added.
Murali also stressed that MIC Youth was wrong if it thought that it could break PKR’s spirit with a few punches.
“We are much stronger than that,” he added.
The clash erupted when the MIC Youth delegation came face-to-face with the PKR members who had gone to submit a memorandum to the prime minister regarding Reshina’s case.
MIC Youth had denied that its delegation wanted to attack Surendran and Reshina, and accused Murali of hurling vulgarities and throwing the first punch.
Surendran, however, called it a premeditated attack.
Yesterday, MIC disciplinary committee chairman KS Nijhar took the MIC Youth to task for resorting to violence and vowed that an inquiry would be held.
