September 27, 2008 14:41 LUMPUR, 27 Sept (Bernama) -- MIC has urged the Selangor government to make public the report on the demolition of a temple in Ampang after two elected representatives from Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) gave conflicting statements on the matter.
MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said in a statement today that the conficting statements were deceiving and hoodwinking the people over who was actually responsible for the demolition of the Sri Mahakaliamman temple in Ampang on Sept 9.
He said MIC wanted the state government to come clean on the matter and expose who had authorised the demolition.
He said that according to Ampang Member of Parliment Zuraida Kamaruddin, it was the temple committee who had demolished the temple to make way for renovation and facelift but Selangor Health, Estate Workers and Caring Government Committee Chairman Dr Xavier A. Jayakumar had said that five to six Ampang Jaya Municipal Council enforcement officers were involved in tearing down the temple.
The PKR-led state government should not divert the issue by claiming that MIC was making unfounded allegations, Samy Vellu said.
