KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor exco Dr Xavier Jeyakumar wants Selangor Tamil Schools Parents Association president S Murali sacked from PKR over his "rowdy" behaviour. Speaking to FMT, Jeyakumar said he lodged a report with PKR's disciplinary committee against Murali and four others over the fracas at a July 31 meeting in Shah Alam.
Murali was captured on video assaulting the PTA chairman of Midlands Tamil School S Kumaravel during the meeting to discuss the state government's allocation for Tamil schools.
Apart from this, the PTA chief also verbally abused Jeyakumar and several NGO leaders, who were seated on the stage, calling them “idiots and thieves”.
The PKR disciplinary committee is expected to call in the five for questioning.
"I want Murali sacked from the party for his misbehaviour and disrespect towards the state's PKR leaders,” said Jeyakumar.
He said due the incident, the management of the state secretariat building informed him that such meetings would not be allowed in the hall in future.
Jeyakumar said he had briefed PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim on the incident, and the latter also wanted disciplinary action to be taken against those involved.
FMT also learnt that the party headquarters would issue show-cause letters to the five over the next few days.
On Monday, Anwar, when met at the Jalan Duta Court Complex here, refused to comment on the matter.
Police probe underway
Meanwhile, the disciplinary board is also expected to grill Murali over his alleged role in causing disunity among Puchong PKR division members with his allegation that the division was not doing enough for the Indian community in the area.
The police are also probing the July 31 incident after NGO leaders K Arumugam and S Pasupathi filed reports against Murali, accusing him of criminal intimidation.
Kumaravel also lodged two police reports, one on the assault, and the other, regarding Murali's alleged threat to hurt him and his family.
The police recorded a statement from Arumugam yesterday, and are expected to quiz Pasupathi today.
Arumugam said the police had asked him to identify the attackers based on the video-clip handed over to the police by Kumaravel.
