The MIC Central Working Committee (CWC) today discussed the one-year suspension of MIC Youth secretary C Sivarraajh after the matter was raised by the youth movement.    

Party sources said MIC Youth wanted the one-year suspension on Sivarraajh lifted, describing it as too harsh.    

However, the outcome of the five-hour meeting at the party headquarters here was not immediately known as most of the CWC members remained tight-lipped on the matter.    

"MIC president (G Palanivel) has no plans to hold any press conference. If there's anything, we'll issue a statement," one of his aides said.    

Earlier this month, the party's disciplinary committee suspended Sivarraajh after he had criticised the party leadership for accepting 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 CWC members, KP Samy and G Kumar Amaan.
