Sitting out of PN seat negotiations, MIC waits for signal from BN

 

MIC won't unilaterally join the electoral seat negotiations by Perikatan Nasional (PN), party deputy president M Saravanan said.

As a BN component party, he said, MIC would wait for a decision by the coalition on whether to negotiate with PN.

"We need to understand that MIC, MCA and Umno are not just political parties. The three parties are part of a struggle.

"To date, it has to be a BN consensus," Saravanan (above) told journalists after the MIC central working committee meeting in Kuala Lumpur last night.

He said this when asked to respond to the announcement by Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin that PN will proceed with electoral seat negotiations without BN.

Both PN and BN are part of the ruling coalition but Umno, the main party in BN, has indicated plans to take on PN in the next general election.

'Final decision will come from BN'

For now, Saravanan said, there were no discussions about negotiating with PN.

"We are still waiting for BN to make a decision. Whatever the decision, MIC will not decide unilaterally.

"The final decision will come from BN. For now, there are no discussions (on the matter) at the BN level.

"We cannot make any decision based solely on the current situation. We need to look at the whole picture, particularly the views of the grassroots," he added.

Saravanan said MIC will weigh the views of the grassroots during its forthcoming annual general assembly and party polls in November.

"After that, we look at the aspirations of the grassroots and decide," he said. Mkini
