MIC president S.A. Vigneswaran said the party will work with Makkal Sakti to address the problems faced by the Indian community.

He said the party’s top leadership has agreed to the collaboration and there would be a joint press conference to elaborate on the matter.

“MIC and Makkal Sakti will work together to ensure that the tackling of the problems of the Indian community becomes the priority of the parties representing the community and the government,” he told reporters after chairing the party’s central working committee meeting.

Vigneswaran also said MIC has asked the Communications and Digital Ministry to prevent access and screening of films associated with a minister from Tamil Nadu, India, following his recent comments on the sensitivity of Hinduism.

He said the party would hold a peaceful rally in front of the Indian Embassy on September 29 to submit a memorandum objecting to the minister’s remarks. – Bernama, September 22, 2023.
