BN boleh tentukan masa depan parti MIC

PENGERUSI Barisan Nasional (BN), Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi menegaskan bahawa gabungan itu akan menentukan nasib MIC sekiranya kepimpinan parti tersebut terus gagal membuat keputusan jelas, sama ada mahu kekal dalam BN atau sebaliknya.

Beliau berkata, perwakilan MIC sebelum ini telah memberikan kuasa penuh kepada kepimpinan parti untuk membuat keputusan, namun sehingga kini pendirian muktamad masih tidak ditentukan.

“Jika kepimpinan semasa tidak mampu membuat keputusan, maka saya ingin tegaskan sekali lagi, sekiranya mereka tidak membuat keputusan, kami akan membuat keputusan.

Kita tidak mahu keadaan pagi cakap lain, petang cakap lain, esok cakap lain,” katanya pada sidang akhbar selepas merasmikan Perhimpunan Agung Tahunan Makkal Sakti ke-17 di Butterworth, hari ini.

Ahmad Zahid berkata, BN turut mengambil maklum kewujudan salinan surat yang tersebar, didakwa ditandatangani kepimpinan MIC berhubung permohonan untuk kembali menyertai Perikatan Nasional (PN), sekali gus menimbulkan persoalan mengenai kesetiaan parti berkenaan.

Menurutnya, MCA dan MIC merupakan antara parti yang membentuk pakatan politik sejak sebelum kemerdekaan dan sejarah tersebut perlu dihormati.

 

Barisan Nasional can decide MIC’s fate

BARISAN Nasional chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has warned that the coalition will decide the fate of MIC if the party continues to waver on whether it wants to remain in the alliance it co-founded more than seven decades ago.

“A certain party had decided at their annual general meeting that they would leave it to their leadership (to decide) whether they want to remain in BN or not, but they do not have a decision.

“I say, if they do not have a decision, we will decide for them,” he said in his opening address at Makkal Sakti’s 17th annual general assembly in Butterworth, today.

Later, at a press conference, Zahid confirmed that he was referring to MIC, and noted that a letter by the party seeking inquiries about Perikatan Nasional had been circulating, which he interpreted as a sign that the party had shifted loyalty.

He again said that if MIC remained undecided, the BN leadership would decide its fate.
