MIC’s Party Leadership Clashes Over Joining Perikatan Nasional Claims

Perikatan Nasional secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan announced MIC has officially joined PN, marking it as the coalition’s fifth component party with formal admission expected soon. However, MIC deputy president M. Saravanan publicly denied this, stating no decision has been made and the party remains with Barisan Nasional. This internal contradiction highlights a significant dispute within MIC that could affect political alliances and upcoming coalition dynamics as both sides clarify positions.
