MIC Youth wants Sivarraajh's suspension lifted

KUALA LUMPUR - MIC Youth wants the one-year suspension on its secretary C. Sivarraajh lifted, describing it as too harsh.

Its chief T. Mohan said he would raise the matter at the upcoming meeting of the party's decision-making body, the central working committee (CWC), on Aug 28.

"I will definitely raise this matter. We want him to be reinstated. The CWC has the power to overrule the disciplinary committee's decision," he said Thursday.

He added that based on similar cases previously, the committee should have either advised or warned Sivarraajh and not suspended him.

"I hoped the party president and committee understand the situation and eventually lift the suspension," he added.

Sivarraajh was suspended on Tuesday after criticising the party's leadership for reinstating several members who were expelled in April last year.

He has since appealed against the suspension.

Sivarraajh was reported to have lodged a report with the Registrar of Societies after the party decided to reinstate three leaders, namely former youth deputy chief V. Mugilan and two former CC members, K.P. Samy and G. Kumar Amaan.
