First it was PKR leader Gobalakrishnan, now the rest of PKR Indian leaders have come out guns blazing. Looks like PKR is heading into mini crisis. MIC in crisis, MCA in crisis, PKR in crisis, 2 parties in Sabah at loggerheads. Who benefits?

Turning the tables on Malaysian Indian United Party (MIUP) president KS Nallakarupan, PKR today posed the same question he had asked their leader Anwar Ibrahim. Early this week, Nallakarupan had lambasted Anwar for allegedly lying to the Indian community in a bid to secure votes. He also challenged Anwar to reveal what he had done for the Indian community when he was deputy premier and finance minister. At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, PKR leaders threw back the same question, and more, at their former colleague. “When Nallakarupan was MIC Youth deputy chief, what did he do for the Indian community?” asked PKR supreme council member S Manickavasagam. The video clip, filmed at a PKR function last August, showed Nallakarupan expressing support for Anwar and PKR in Tamil. “When Nallakarupan joined (PKR), he said he had been friends with Anwar for 30 years and (they) were … blood brothers,” pointed out PKR deputy secretary-general Dr Xavier Jayakumar. Back then, Jayakumar added, Nallakarupan declared that Anwar would be able to raise the issues of Indian poverty and would do whatever he could to uplift poor Indians. 'Contest, if you dare' “The question now is, who is behind Nallakarupan?” said the PKR leader before challenging the MIUP president and his men to contest against PKR in the coming general elections. Jayakumar also challenged Nallakarupan to a debate on the position of Indians in Malaysia. Meanwhile, Manikavasingam claimed that Nallakarupan had quit PKR last May because of his political ambitions. Jayakumar refuted Nallakarupan’s claim that he brought almost 10,000 Indian members to PKR and that “many” followed his decision to quit the party. The PKR leader said many of the leaders who left with Nallakarupan have since returned to the party. |
