Isma vice-president Abdul Rahman Mat Dali (right) was also furious with Vell Paari for describing his organisation as a “clown who is not amusing”. "It is better for him to keep quiet and not make ridiculous remarks.
"And he should also not get involved in issues which do not concern him,” Rahman is quoted as saying by Ismaweb.
However, he said the remarks of the MIC director of strategy were extreme and could be considered as challenging Isma and all Malay Muslims.
"What he said reveals that he is the one who is sick and a clown. I would also say that he is being childish," Rahman added.
Vell Paari had lambasted Isma president Abdullah Zaik Abdullah Rahman for calling the Chinese "intruders" in response to the community's opposition to the implementation of hudud.
Abdullah Zaik had also said the ancestors of Chinese Malaysians were "in cahoots with the British to oppress the Malays."
Yesterday, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar told Malaysiakini that the Isma president's remarks are being investigated under the Sedition Act.
'Sedition transmitting disease'
Responding to Isma's criticism, Vell Paari laughed it off, saying: "I am trembling with fear."
"On a serious note, I still believe that Isma is a STD."But it is not a sexually transmitted disease but rather, a sedition transmitting disease," he told Malaysiakini.
Vell Paari also said that the issue was of concern to him because unlike Isma, he believes in national unity.
"So they think I am childish... Well I am sure their statements exhibit the highest level of maturity and wisdom that would even put great intellectuals to shame.
"And when given a taste of their own medicine, Isma finds it a bitter pill to swallow," he added.
Vell Paari also disagreed that his comments were a challenge to all Malay Muslims, saying that Isma's views are not supported by all Malay Muslims.
