After being issued a show-cause letter for allegedly criticising the president, Vell Paari has now been made the strategic director.
PETALING JAYA: Merely 10 days after issuing a show-cause letter to S Vell Paari over his alleged criticism against the party, MIC president G Palanivel makes a U-turn by re-appointing the former as the party’s strategic director bureau chief.
A Tamil daily owned by Vell Paari published an article today claiming that Palanivel has appointed the son of former party president S Samy Vellu to the said position.
The appointment was announced by MIC vice president M Saravanan during the party’s Federal Territory meeting yesterday.
When contacted, Vell Paari confirmed that he was offered the position. Nevertheless he did not reveal further details on the appointment.
“The party disciplinary committee has still not issued their official statement on my show-cause letter. Thus, I cannot reveal anything at this moment,” he said, adding that he has already replied to the letter.
On March 7, MIC disciplinary committee issued the show-cause letter to the former party strategic director for issuing statements against the party president in the media.
Disciplinary committee head KS Nijhar said Vell Paari would be given 14 days to reply to the show-cause letter.
The show cause letter was issued immediately after Vell Paari had issued a press statement against Palanivel, who is also the Natural Resources and Environment Minister, for failing to alert and update the public on the haze and the prolonged drought.
Vell Paari, who is also Kepong MIC division chief, had urged the minister to take into view the plight of Malaysians facing the haze problem.
The committee will also issue a similar show-cause letter to Shah Alam MIC branch chairman S Vaithialingam.
It is expected that the disciplinary committee will issue an official statement tomorrow.
