By B Nantha Kumar, Free Malaysia Today
KOTA BARU: Kedah MIC Youth today threw its full support behind MIC secretary-general, S Murugesan, who yesterday became the highest-ranking party official to censure president S Samy Vellu.
L Thiagarajan said Murugesan was right in disputing Samy Vellu’s decision to use his presidential powers to sack four party leaders who had called for his resignation.
“The president should only wield his powers as a last resort and not as and when he feels like it.”
‘If this is not checked now, then it will eventually mean that most of our members will be sacked,” he said.
Samy Vellu had sacked deputy Youth chief V Mugilan, central working committee members (CWC) KP Samy, G Kumar Amaan and Petaling Jaya division leader V Subramaniam, better known as Barat Maniam, for calling for his resignation.
Mugilan subsequently set up Gerak Anti-Samy (GAS), which will be holding its inaugural gathering at the Mines Convention Centre tomorrow
Mugilan is expecting 15,000 disgruntled members to turn up.
