MIC denies boycotting BN event

MIC has decided that it will contest the 15th general election (GE15), following an emergency central working committee meeting today.

It was previously reported that the BN component party was considering pulling out of the upcoming polls due to unhappiness over seat allocations.

However, MIC president SA Vigneswaran said his party is satisfied with the seats given.

After MIC’s emergency meeting today, which started around 11am and lasted almost two hours, Vigneswaran denied there were any plans for a boycott.

Instead, he said, the meeting was held because he wanted to discuss with MIC’s supreme council on all election-related decisions.
