He said MIC Youth chief T Mohan has been entrusted with organising the meeting by next week and to invite as many NGOs supporting both the political divide.
"The meeting is important for us to discuss and explain the latest happenings in the country with regards to several incidents that may have an effect on the racial unity," he said in a statement.
He said the meeting would give the opportunity to the NGOs to speak their mind and have frank and open discussions on sensitive issues."We will then compile their views and suggestions and submit to the government.
"Through this way, our views will be channeled to the government orderly and without causing any uneasiness or unhappiness among the various races in the country," Vell Paari said.
Vell Paari said he had received some 800 emails via the Facebook in just over two days over the recent incidents involving race and religion.
"Most of the emails are from the youths and NGOs. The meeting with the NGOs is necessary so that we can let them vent their frustration on us (MIC) being the representative of the Malaysian Indians in the government," he said.
Appoint Indian officer
Vell Paari also suggested that cabinet ministers and deputy ministers from all political parties appoint an Indian officer to brief them on the latest happenings and the needs of the Indian community.
"For a start, we (MIC Youth) will request MIC's three representatives in the government to appoint at least two Indian officers from amongst the Youth, Putera or Puteri wings of MIC," he said.
The party's three representatives are Human Resources Minister Dr S Subramaniam, Deputy Minister in the PM's Department SK Devamany and Federal Territories Deputy Minister M Saravanan.
He said the Prime Minister has already appointed an Indian officer to handle all matters relating to the community's affairs.
