Former MIC Youth chief says the MIC central working committee cannot decide not to hold a re-election.
PETALING JAYA: Only the Registrar of Societies (RoS) can decide on the party re-election and not the MIC central committee members, said former MIC Youth chief T Mohan.
Mohan said since more than 50 reports had been lodged with the RoS on irregularities in the CWC and division elections, only the registrar could decide now.
“It is unlawful for CWC members to dismiss appeals made by party members and leaders who now want a re-election.
“The letter from MIC president G Palanivel and CWC are their personal views and the final say is with the RoS,” he said in the statement.
He said only the RoS could decide if a re-election was warranted or not.
Mohan was commenting on an announcement by the party secretary-general last week that the party had dismissed all petitions calling for a re-election following alleged vote manipulation and voting irregularities at the party polls late last year.
Disgruntled leaders and members have been asking the party leadership to hold a re-election, claiming that the MIC polls, held on Nov 30, 2013 in Malacca, was marred with irregularities.
“We do not care about the party’s stand. The RoS is investigating party leaders and election committee personnel. Let them decide on whether a re-election is needed or not,” said Mohan.
He said Palanivel did not want to hold the party elections last year but was forced to do so by the RoS.
“The RoS intervened once and there is no reason why they cannot intervene again. Just hold a re-election and clear the air once and for all,” he added.
