The e-mail referred to in an article concerning an alleged conspiracy between certain MIC leaders and the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to topple former party president G Palanivel is nothing more than a synopsis, claimed a party source familiar with the matter.

The source said the synopsis was authored on Feb 19, after all the letters from the ROS to MIC were issued and ceased as of Feb 6.

“When Palanivel's team declared they are going to court to challenge the ROS, the synopsis was created as an information note to help understand the issue better in preparation for the case,” he said.
