Barisan chairman to meet MIC leaders 'one more time'
FMT
KUALA LUMPUR: With the MIC heading for a confrontation with the Registrar of Socieites over party elections, Barisan Nasional chairman Najib Tun Razak has said he will meet MIC leaders over the next few days.
Surprisingly, he mentioned only deputy MIC president S Subramaniam when reporters asked if he would meet the MIC president G Palanivel.
“On tomorrow, Monday or Tuesday, with Datuk Subramaniam, one more time,” he was quoted as saying by Star Online.
Sinar Harian, however, said he would meet both Palanivel and Subramaniam, for a second meeting with the MIC leaders.
Earlier today Palanivel had demanded that the Registrar of Societies withdraw a series of letters issued to the party since December and to adopt the proposals that he had submitted.
The registrar had nullified the party elections of November 2013 and ordered fresh elections for the central working committee and three vice-presidents.
Last week, however, the registrar had named an interim central working committee to run the party’s affairs and conduct the elections, and had also ordered fresh elections for the party presidency and deputy presidency. Palanivel and Subramaniam had been elected unopposed to their posts in November 2013.
Palanivel, saying the registrar had acted against the MIC constitution and the Societies Act, gave the registrar a deadline of 5pm on Tuesday to withdraw his letters.
