No talks, says the real Kimma head
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress (Kimma) has dismissed news reports that it approached People’s Progressive Party (PPP) president Datuk M. Kayveas with a proposal for a merger.
Kimma president Syed Ibrahim Kader said Amir Amsaa Alla Pitchay, who had claimed to be Kimma president and had approached Kayveas, had been expelled from the congress in February last year for disciplinary reasons.
As such, Amir had no right to act on behalf for Kimma, he added.
He denied the reports which said the PPP president had met Kimma to discuss the merger.
Syed Ibrahim, who lodged a police report at the Dang Wangi police station yesterday, said Amir’s actions had tarnished Kimma’s reputation, and hampered its continuing efforts to gain admission into the Barisan Nasional.
“I had countless telephone calls from Kimma members from all over the country, who were angry over the news reports, “ he said at the Kimma headquarters here yesterday.
“Our stand has been clear in past resolutions made during our annual general meetings. Kimma is a 100% Muslim party and our members wish to join Umno,” he said.
