MIC Youth will not allow Makkal Sakti, which will be launched on Oct 10, to become an alternative party to the Indian community.

MIC Youth coordinator T Mohan 01052009 MIC Youth chief T Mohan said although the party would be launched Barisan Nasional chairperson Najib Abdul Razak, the movement would not compromise if it was aimed at replacing the MIC in BN.

"(Datuk Seri) Najib, as the prime minister, has every right to launch any new party but it is not appropriate if is aimed at decimating the MIC, which had served BN for 63 years," he told a news conference today.

Makkal Sakti Malaysia is headed by RS Thenenthiran, 47, a former national coordinator of Hindraf, which had been declared an illegal organisation.

"MIC Youth will certainly protest if any new party is to replace the MIC (in BN) for whatever reasons. There will be no compromise," said Mohan.

Mohan said many new parties would emerge but they would not be able to gain the confidence of the people and the MIC's contributions would not be forgotten.

On the Bagan Pinang by-election, he said the movement would organise a telematch, a carnival and a concert in Indian majority areas, namely in the Siliau, Bradwall and Antherton estates.
