‘Mutiny in Umno’: MIC must back Najib

By B Nantha Kumar, FMT



KUALA LUMPUR: MIC should reconsider its position in Barisan Nasional if Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak is toppled from power by certain forces within Umno, said party Central Working Committee (CWC) member S Vell Paari.



In a news report published in Tamil Nesan yesterday, he said there was intense speculation that Najib is facing a challenge in Umno.



If there is any truth to the speculation, Vell Paari urged MIC to defend Najib.



“He is the best prime minister we have in terms of catering for the Indian community, so we must stand by him.



“We don’t know if the rumour is true but MIC must protect Najib against those who are working against the prime minister,” he added.



Vell Paari, who raised the matter during the MIC CWC meeting yesterday, said that it was his personal opinion.



“This is my own opinion. It is up to the party leadership and CWC members to accept my opinion or not,” he added.
