Lim Kit Siang has acknowledged that MIC treasurer-general S Vell Paari raised valid questions with regard to the plight of the Indian community during Dr Mahathir Mohamad's 22-year tenure as prime minister.
However, the DAP veteran said Vell Paari's father, former MIC president S Samy Vellu, who served in Mahathir's cabinet during the two decades, should answer the questions.
