PETALING JAYA: MIC has removed Datuk C. Sivarraajh from its central working committee.
However, the former MIC vice president said he will not appeal against the decision as it is the prerogative of MIC president Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran to remove any leaders from the central working committee.
"I'm not going to appeal as I was removed without any reason.
"It's his prerogative to remove and replace anyone he wishes," he said on Tuesday (June 13).
Sivarraajh said he would continue carrying out his duties as a senator.
"I will serve the Indian community. My focus is on 3E (education, entrepreneurship and empowerment)," he added.
Sivarraajh was appointed as senator in March last year.
He was elected as the Cameron Highlands MP in 2018, but the election result was nullified by the Court, citing corrupt practices.
He was then fielded by Barisan Nasional to contest the Padang Serai seat in GE15, but Pakatan Harapan candidate M Karupaiya died before polling day. The Election Commission then postponed polls for the seat.
After Barisan and Pakatan decided to form the unity government after GE15, Sivarraajh agreed to withdraw his candidacy for the seat.
However, Perikatan Nasional won that seat with a more than 16,000-vote majority in a six-cornered fight.
