Issue
Death of K. Sujatha
On 25 June 2007, K Sujatha, a local Tamil actor and also his former private secretary from 1999 to 2007 was found drinking SP Paraquat poison at Sang Suria Condominium, Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur before going out to watch a movie with him at a cinema. Vell Paari sent Sujatha to Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital, Klang after getting advice from Dr. Sakthi Vello. 3 days later, on July 25, 2007, died in hospital.[2]
In the inquest into K Sujatha's death, a torn wedding photo of Vell Paari was found on the actor's bed in an apartment and Vell Paari did not know how the photo got there.[3]
Vell Paari supports the studies of Sujatha's two younger brothers, K. Ugenthiran, 28, and K. Surenthiran, 26, in Australia.[4]
On 9 July 2009, MP of Kapar S. Manikavasagam revealed 3 videotapes of Sujatha's funeral.[5]
Anti Samy Vellu Movement
Vell Paari accused former deputy president Datuk Subramaniam Sathasivam of being the 'mastermind' behind the establishment of the 'Anti Samy Vellu Movement announced by V. Mugilan. Mugilan, members of the MIC Central Working Committee (CWC) K.P Samy and G. Kumar Aamaan were fired for criticizing the MIC president. Mugilan's name suddenly became hot and exploded to be a candidate to compete in the April 2010 Hulu Selangor by-election. It is understood that BN Chairman Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his deputy, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has agreed with Mugilan's name after voters in Hulu Selangor rejected[citation needed] MIC deputy president Datuk G. Palanivel to contest again.
Accusation of UMNO mastermind breaking MIC
On 24 May 2010 on the Free Malaysia Today website, Vell Paari accused UMNO of meddling in the party's crisis and was involved in trying to get rid of his father. UMNO used the "political assassination" approach to split MIC. Inequality caused the Chinese and Indians not to vote BN in the 2008 election and not because of leadership issues in the MCA and MIC parties as has been hotly talked about lately.[6]
On 25 May 2010, UMNO Deputy President, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin described the accusation as rude and asked Samy Vellu to advise his son not to issue statements that could affect the sensitivity of other BN component parties.
MIC leaders do not want to admit their weaknesses but instead try to point the finger at other parties in the hope that they can continue to lead the party leadership. Problems in the party must be according to the party's constitution and procedures. In the 12th general election of 2008, Samy Vellu was rejected by the people including the Indian community itself, his Sungai Siput seat also fall to the hands of opposition. The party leader is 'dictator-style', who cannot be reprimanded at all and anyone who does so will be fired.[7]
