Mugilan spoke at a makeshift press conference that GAS leaders held during a standoff between their supporters and 50 MIC supporters who showed up to disrupt the rally, as 30 police officers  rushed into the hall to control the situation.

“We are calmly waiting for the situation to come under control. If the situation is not controlled we are obedient citizens of this country, we will not take the law into our own hands. We will take the police’s advice,” added former MIC supreme council member KP Samy.

He contends that it is clear that non-GAS members in the crowd are disrupting the rally, but called for non-violence.

“Even if they attack, we will not react,” he added, implying that the MIC gatecrashers represented the “arrogance and hooligans ” of Samy and his diehards.

        

‘Samy is a coward’

“We got a good crowd. They claimed 5,000 but not even 50 is here. Now the party, the police, the media, the whole world can decide on who are the troublemakers, who are the assets and who are the liabilities to BN.” said the former MIC strongman.

NONE “Samy is a coward,” added KP Samy ( right ) in a parting shot, challenging the MIC president to take GAS to court.

KP Samy further added that they will be handing a memorandum to the prime minister soon, to ask him to step in and solve the woes of the Indians, whom GAS claimed have been cheated by Samy for so long.

“Samy, your reputation is ruined. The Indians are angry with you. We showed you in 2008, to ask you to leave the party, but you never learned from it,” said Mugilan.
