A MIC leader tells the PKR vice-president not to blame MIC over the threat made against the latter even before the police concludes its investigation.
PETALING JAYA: PKR vice-president N Surendran should allow the police to investigate the threat made against him before accusing MIC of having a hand in it.
“As a lawyer, Surendran should not have jumped the gun and he should not just assume things,” said MIC welfare and social bureau deputy chairman R Ramanan.
Yesterday, Surendran lodged a report with the Travers police station after he received a text message saying that his face would be splashed with acid.
The PKR leader alleged that MIC was behind the threat as the former was critical of the party.
“MIC is furious with my comment about them. I am sure that MIC is behind the threats, like how they attacked us in Putrajaya. This is an act of gangsterism,” Surendran had said.
Ramanan said he was concerned over the threat made against Surendran and urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation.
He added the threat should not deter the PKR leader from performing his duties.
But on the same note, he said Surendran should not play the role of judge, jury and executioner before the police concluded their investigation.
“If the investigation proves that it was a MIC member, then the person should be charged in court.
“But if the investigation proves otherwise, then Surendran must be taken to task for making a false report and issuing defamatory statements against the party,” he added.
