KUALA LUMPUR: MIC chief Datuk Seri G Palanivel has removed his harsh critic Datuk Seri Vell Paari, son of the former party leader Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu and four others including the secretary-general A. Prakash Rao from their posts in the central committee.
Palanivel’s move comes in the wake of a decision by the Registrar of Societies on Dec 5 to nullify the election of three vice-presidents and 23 members of the central committee at the party elections in 2013.
The Registrar recommended that the posts be re-elected within 90 days, following alleged irregularities and breach of the party’s constitution and the Societies Act.
The new secretary-general is Datuk Kumar Silambaram, with Ramalingam Krishnamoorthy replacing Vell Paari as strategic director, Bernama reported.
Three new members join the central committee – Karuppanan Malairaja (Penang), Datuk Ganesan Subramaniam (Kedah) and Ganesan Thankaveloo (Selangor) – replacing Tan Sri K.S Nijhar, Datuk R. Ramanan and Datuk K.S Balakrishnan.
Palanivel appointed a new disciplinary committee comprising Karuppanan (chairman), Datuk Ganesan Subramaniam and Datuk Randhir Singh.
“All the appointments take effect from today and I have issued letters to all concerned which will be received by them in due course,” Palanivel said in a statement.
Prakash Rao was replaced as secretary-general after only a year. The previous secretary-general, A. Sakthivel, lasted only about seven months.
Vell Paari, who has been a harsh critic of the party president, said in a text message to Bernama that his position was already null and void due to the Registrar’s decision.
