PKR should change its name to that of an Indian party to reflect its membership, according to MIC president SA Vigneswaran.
He was responding to PKR president-elect Anwar Ibrahim's claim that his party has more Indian members than MIC.
“He (Anwar) is right. There are many Indian members in PKR. I have heard the same. I suggest he changes PKR's name to an Indian party,” Vigneswaran told Malaysiakini.
“Perhaps he should also give the deputy president post to an Indian as an acknowledgement of the number of Indians in PKR,” he added on a sarcastic note.
Previously, Tamil newspaper Tamil Malar quoted Anwar as describing MIC as a “school without students.”
According to the Pakatan Harapan de facto leader, PKR officially has more Indian members than the BN component party, which was founded in 1946.
Anwar said this following a meeting with PKR Indian leaders from Perak at the party headquarters in Petaling Jaya on Wednesday.
In a separate development, a MIC source told Malaysiakini that the leadership has postponed the election for Bukit Bintang MIC, following a ruckus involving two candidates for the division head post at the party headquarters yesterday.
“The election has been postponed for 14 days. Follow-up action will be left to the disciplinary committee,” said the source on condition of anonymity.
Yesterday, one of the candidates for the Bukit Bintang division chief post T Ananthan filed a police report alleging that he was assaulted by a party member.
In the report filed with the Dang Wangi district police headquarters, Ananthan claimed that he was punched repeatedly during the incident. -Mkini
