DR SUBRAMANIAM: Assures that MIC re-elections can be completed by this October.
MIC deputy president Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam gave his assurance that the party re-elections could be completed by October this year.
"We will carry out the re-elections accordingly as what was stated, unless we get any other kind of instruction," he told reporters here Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Dr Subramaniam who is also Health Minister, said the Registar of Societies (RoS) had granted permission to MIC's Interim 2009 Central Working Committee (CWC) to extend the period until October this year for the party to hold re-elections.
He said the letter was received from RoS on Tuesday which gave permission to hold the re-elections from July to October.
The nominations for the branch chairmen will be on July 10, 11 and 12, followed by elections a week after.
When asked to comment on Tuesday's closed-door meeting between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and MIC president Datuk Seri G. Palanivel, Dr Subramaniam said: "PM briefed me this morning...there's nothing exciting enough to share.
"He (Najib) told me what he told him (Palanivel)."
