Kuala Lumpur – Head of MIC’s Communications and Public Relations Bureau Datuk Seri Vell Paari, has lodged police report yesterday on assault and death threats by certain groups.
“A whatsapp group, named ‘Debate here Kalau Berani’ created by Pro Palanivel supporters and some opposition members, has been instigating a lot of violence and unlawful measures towards the ongoing MIC elections and Presidential Nominations which is set to take place today (21st August 2015) at the MIC Headquarters” Vell Paari said in a press statement released yesterday.
“On a more serious note, senior leaders in the MIC and myself were added to this group in order to intimidate us and issue threats against us for going ahead with the nominations for President” Vell Paari noted in his statement.
“Clear death and assault threats were issued via voice clips in the group against MIC Acting President Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam, former MIC President Datuk Seri Utama Samy Vellu and myself. There were even claims and plans to not only break MIC doors but also to burn down MIC on the day of the Presidential nominations” claimed Vell Paari.
Vell Paari also confirmed having made a police report on this matter and further said “I am sure the authorities will be calling these individuals for questioning soon”
“We in MIC shall not be hindered with all these cheap acts of Palanivel’s supporters. We have left it to the authorities to take necessary steps and actions to ensure smooth flowing Presidential nominations” declared Vell Paari
Vell Paari also said he is looking forward to seeing Dr S.Subramaniam elected as the next President of MIC today.
