Mugilan eyes top MIC Youth post

He promises no internal fracas in the contest.

KUALA LUMPUR: MIC deputy Youth leader, V Mugilan, intends to contest for the top post in the party’s youth wing and pledged that there will be no internal bickering with his move.

“I have intentions of taking over the Youth leader’s post after the general election,” he said at a press conference here today.

The post is currently held by T Mohan.

Mugilan said he will guarantee his contest for the top Youth spot will not create any internal rift.

Mugilan and MIC central working committee (CWC) member G Kumar Amaan will be meeting Mohan tomorrow to discuss about Mugilan’s intention.

Meanwhile, another CWC member, KP Samy, said that the decision to readmit into the party all those who were sacked was based on the spirit of amnesty.

“We are officially back in the party as of today after handing over our letter to MIC disciplinary committee chairman, KS Nijhar,” KP Samy said.

“We would like to reiterate here that we accepted this offer (for reinstatement)… without pressure or directive from any parties for the sake of party unity,” the trio said in a press statement.

“We are not being apologetic for our previous actions as we had done this for the love of our party and we believe this is part of the democratic process to voice our opinions and stand freely without fear or favour,” they said.

On April 23, MIC party chief G Palanivel decided to reinstate Mugilan, Kumar Amaan and KP Samy.

The three leaders were sacked last year after criticising then MIC supremo S Samy Vellu. The trio, soon after their sacking, formed Gerakan Anti-Samy Vellu better known as GAS.

GAS was disbanded after Palanivel took over MIC in January.

Apart from the three leaders, the CWC also admitted M Gunaseelan and T Ganesan who were Youth division leaders in Kedah. The two are aligned to former MIC Youth chief SA Vigneswaran.
