MIC open to welcoming back ex-members, says president

MIC is open to welcoming back former members who wish to rejoin the party, said its president SA Vigneswaran.

He said this was decided at the party’s central working committee (CWC) meeting yesterday and they are considering appeals by several former members.

“One of the individuals we have reinstated is Awtar Singh from Puchong, who submitted his appeal. The CWC allowed him to attend the supreme council meeting, and his appeal was considered.

“This is the supreme council’s decision, and we (the president and deputy president) adhere to it,” said Vigneswaran at a press conference following the first CWC meeting for the 2024-2027 term at the MIC headquarters in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

Another topic discussed at the meeting was the party’s direction and the efforts needed to secure more seats in the 16th general election.

Vigneswaran also announced that conferences for MIC’s Youth, Wanita, Putera, and Puteri wings will be held on Sept 1, while the party’s annual general meeting will take place on Sept 15 at the Ideal Convention Centre in Shah Alam, Selangor.

He added that MIC has identified 5,144 Indian voters who will be participating in the Mahkota by-election in Johor.

The party’s machinery will be mobilised to help garner votes for the government’s candidate, he added.
