More than 2,500 MIC branch chairpersons and leaders will hand over a memorandum to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak at his office in Putrajaya on Thursday.

Former MIC Youth chief T Mohan (below) said this is to express unhappiness over the Registrar of Societies (ROS) dragging its feet in making a decision on numerous complaints from party leaders since January regarding the MIC polls.

Among the complaints, he added, is the non-conformity to election rules, increase in the number of delegates, the non-tallying of delegates present and votes cast at the general assembly, the ballots being held by a non-election committee member and disappearance of ballots.

"It has been 10 months, but to date, there has been no word from the ROS although they acted speedily in other similar cases last year.

"Many are puzzled why the ROS is taking so long to come to a decision after taking statements from the complainants and party leaders," he added.

Mohan warned that while branch leaders have been patient with the ROS, there is a limit to this.

As for the gathering on Thursday, he said the participants are those who have the interest of the party at heart and want MIC to return to the path of democracy.

"MIC leaders want justice and want to ensure that the party returns as the voice of the community and will oppose those who try to undermine the party," he added.

MIC president G Palanivel reportedly said that the party will abide with ROS' instructions if told to hold a re-election.
