'Berapa Lama Kerajaan Pimpinan PKR Mampu Bertahan Di Selangor?', Bernama, 18 Jun 2015
KUALA LUMPUR, 18 Jun (Bernama) -- "Perceraian" antara PAS dan DAP yang menghancurkan hubungan kerjasama dalam pakatan rakyat setakat ini tidak menjejaskan kedudukan Mohamed Azmin Ali sebagai Menteri Besar Selangor, namun kelangsungan pemerintahan kerajaan pimpinan PKR itu masih berdepan cabaran besar.
Kerajaan Selangor dilihat tetap boleh berfungsi seperti biasa tetapi hanya dengan pentadbiran yang kurang efektif.
Demikian pandangan beberapa penganalisis politik dengan situasi politik semasa di Selangor lebih-lebih lagi dengan PAS dan DAP masing-masing menguasai 15 kerusi dalam Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN), sedangkan PKR hanya dengan 13 kerusi.
Apabila PAS dan DAP tidak lagi mampu duduk semeja, Mohamed Azmin yang juga Timbalan Presiden PKR, kini perlu lebih berhati-hati dalam percaturan politiknya untuk menguruskan kerajaan campuran ketiga-tiga parti politik itu.
Dekan Pusat Pengajian Antarabangsa, Kolej Undang-Undang, Kerajaan dan Pengajian Antarabangsa, Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) Prof Madya Dr Mohd Azizuddin Mohd Sani berkata PKR perlu bijak membuat percaturan bagi memastikan ia terus mendapat sokongan untuk menerajui pentadbiran Selangor.
"Ramai melihat kedudukan Mohamed Azmin sebagai Menteri Besar tidak mungkin terjejas dengan berakhirnya riwayat pakatan. Namun, adalah tidak mustahil bahawa pilihan raya negeri mungkin tidak dapat dielakkan di Selangor," katanya kepada Bernama.
DUN Selangor mempunyai 56 kerusi, PAS (15), DAP (15), PKR (13), BN (12) dan Bebas (1). Kerajaan pimpinan PKR kini dibentuk dengan 43 kerusi gabungan DAP, PAS dan PKR.
Dr Mohd Azizuddin berkata jika Azmin terpaksa membuat pilihan di antara DAP atau PAS, dan beliau memilih untuk bersama DAP, dan menerima anggota serpihan daripada PAS yang mungkin beralih arah, maka beliau akan mengeruhkan hubungan PKR dengan PAS.
Jika semua 15 wakil rakyat PAS memutuskan untuk tidak menyokong pimpinan Azmin kerana tidak lagi boleh 'bertentang mata' dengan wakil rakyat DAP, kerajaan pimpinan PKR akan hilang majoriti, katanya.
Situasi ini boleh berlaku kerana gabungan kerusi DAP dan PKR hanya berjumlah 28, sekaligus menyamai jumlah kerusi pembangkang BN dan PAS termasuk kerusi milik bekas Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim yang kini berfungsi sebagai ADUN Bebas yang menyokong BN.
Sekiranya senario itu berlaku, Mohamed Azmin perlu mendapatkan kembali sokongan untuk membentuk kerajaan sekurang-kurangnya dengan majoriti mudah, iaitu mendapatkan sokongan 29 ADUN.
"Keadaan Azmin juga akan terjejas sekiranya ada wakil rakyat yang bertindak membawa usul undi tidak percaya terhadap pimpinannya di DUN dan jika usul itu diterima, kedudukan beliau akan goyah kerana situasi itu memungkinkan adanya pilihan raya negeri," katanya.
Sementara itu, Pensyarah Pusat Pengajian Sains Kemasyarakatan di Universiti Sains Malaysia Prof Madya Dr Sivamurugan Pandian berkata kerajaan PKR Selangor masih boleh berfungsi jika wakil rakyat kedua-dua parti bertelagah itu masih kekal di dalam barisan kepimpinan kerajaan negeri.
"Namun oleh kerana tiada lagi permuafakatan di antara DAP dan PAS, wakil rakyat kedua-dua parti itu mungkin bergerak sebagai individu dan tidak menyuarakan pandangan yang mewakili parti masing-masing," katanya.
Beliau berkata apabila keadaan itu berlaku, pentadbiran kerajaan negeri akan menjadi kurang efektif kerana setiap keputusan bukanlah secara kolektif seperti ketika ketiga-tiga parti itu berada di dalam pakatan.

'MIC Tidak Mampu Selesai Krisis Tanpa Bantuan Orang Tengah', Bernama, 18 Jun 2015
KUALA LUMPUR, 18 Jun (Bernama) -- Krisis dalaman MIC yang semakin meruncing memerlukan campur tangan pihak berkecuali sebagai perantara dalam menyelesaikan kemelut parti politik kaum India itu, menurut pandangan veteran dan penganalisis politik tanah air.
Mereka berpendapat Presiden MIC Datuk Seri G. Palanivel dan timbalannya Datuk Seri Dr S Subramaniam mendapatkan bantuan orang tengah bagi menyelesaikan masalah parti itu.
Veteran MCA, Datuk Yap Pian Hon berkata MIC perlu mengambil langkah seperti MCA semasa berhadapan dengan krisis parti pada tahun 1980-an dengan memberi peluang kepada Barisan Nasional (BN) untuk membantu parti itu menyelesaikan krisis dalaman mereka.
Beliau berkata krisis MIC ketika ini hampir sama dengan apa yang pernah dialami oleh MCA pada masa itu apabila presiden dan timbalan presiden parti tidak sehaluan.
"Dengan bantuan rundingan daripada BN, MCA kembali bersatu," katanya kepada Bernama di sini hari ini.
Beliau merujuk kepada krisis kepimpinan tertinggi MCA membabitkan Datuk Dr Neo Yee Pan dan Datuk Mak Hoon Kam dengan Tan Koon Swan pada 1985.
Veteran UMNO, Datuk Mustapha Yaakub berkata MIC tidak perlu dingin terhadap bantuan yang ditawarkan pihak ketiga terutama daripada parti komponen BN yang ingin membantu.
"Hasrat BN nak membantu MIC selesaikan masalah, tetapi jangan sampai niat baik kita disalah tafsir. Terbukti hari ini MIC tidak boleh selesai secara dalaman maka eloklah MIC mencari jalan penyelesaian melalui orang tengah di luar MIC tidak kira bantuan daripada UMNO atau MCA ataupun Gerakan," katanya.
Bagi bekas Ketua Pergerakan Wanita UMNO, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, beliau berpendapat mana-mana parti komponen BN perlu memberi keutamaan kepada kepentingan parti dan BN.
Beliau berkata jika mana-mana parti dalam BN benar-benar menghadapi kebuntuan dalam menyelesaikan kemelut yang melanda, maka kepimpinan parti itu perlulah mendapatkan nasihat pimpinan tertinggi BN.
"Walau apapun (masalah dalaman berlaku) jangan biarkan perselisihan menggugat parti, memecahbelahkan ahli dan memberi kesan kepada BN. Perkara ini saya merujuk kepada semua komponen BN," katanya.
Semantara itu, penganalisis politik, Prof Madya Dr Ahmad Marthada Mohamed dari Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), berkata kedua-dua pemimpin tertinggi MIC harus mengetepikan kepentingan peribadi masing-masing dan berkompromi dalam menyelesaikan krisis tersebut.
"Saya yakin mereka sedar, jika mereka tidak duduk semeja dan menyelesaikan krisis ini secara baik, maka MIC akan ditakdirkan gagal dan menjadi tidak relevan," kata dekan Kolej Undang-Undang, Kerajaan dan Pengajian Antarabangsa UUM itu.
Beliau berkata walaupun krisis MIC bukan sesuatu yang baharu kerana ia juga pernah berlaku semasa kepimpinan sebelum ini, namun Palanivel dilihat seolah-olah mengheret krisis tanpa penyelesaian yang jelas.
Malah, katanya, keputusan mahkamah menolak permohonan Palanivel dan empat yang lain untuk membatalkan arahan Pendaftar Pertubuhan (RoS) mengadakan pemilihan semula parti itu telah membawa satu perkembangan yang baharu.
BN sebelum ini cuba menghulurkan bantuan dengan menjadi orang tengah untuk menyelesaikan krisis tersebut tetapi pemimpin MIC enggan menerimanya kerana mahu menyelesaikan masalah mereka sendiri.
Seorang lagi penganalisis politik, Porf Madya Dr Sivamurugan Pandian dari Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), mencadangkan pemilihan semula semua jawatan termasuk jawatan presiden dan timbalan presiden merupakan penyelesaian terbaik.
"Pada pendapat saya, cadangan ini akan dapat meletakkan titik noktah dalam krisis ini. Krisis ini tidak harus berlarutan sehingga menjejaskan imejh parti berusia 68 tahun itu," katanya.

'MIC Perlu Adakan Pemilihan Semula Dan Terus Melangkah', Bernama, 18 Jun 2015
Fokus Berita Oleh S Kisho Kumari
KUALA LUMPUR, (Bernama) -- Pergolakan dalaman MIC semakin tidak keruan berikutan beberapa perkembangan termasuk penggantungan keanggotaan timbalan presiden dan 14 yang lain, susulan keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi yang menolak dua permohonan semakan kehakiman untuk membatalkan arahan Pendaftar Pertubuhan (RoS) supaya mengadakan pemilihan semula parti itu.
Permohonan tersebut dibuat oleh Presiden MIC Datuk Seri G Palanivel dan empat individu lain.
Datuk Seri S.K. Devamany, seorang anggota Jawatankuasa Kerja Pusat (CWC) interim 2009-2013 yang diperakui RoS, berkata dengan keputusan mahkamah itu, tiba masanya untuk MIC mengadakan pemilihan semula dan terus melangkah.
"Kami telah terlalu lama terperangkap dalam kemelut ini. Orang ramai tertanya-tanya kedudukan parti ini dan mereka menyangka kami hanya berminat untuk terus berkuasa daripada memikirkan kelangsungan parti yang berusia 70 tahun ini dalam mewakili masyarakat India di Malaysia," katanya.
Beliau memberitahu Bernama bahawa keputusan mahkamah itu mengesahkan semula CWC interim penggal 2009-2013, yang diberikan tanggungjawab oleh RoS supaya mengadakan pemilihan semula bagi menentukan hala tuju parti.
Menegaskan bahawa parti berkenaan hanya akan pulih semula setelah pemilihan baru diadakan, Devamany berkata terdapat keperluan mendesak bagi MIC untuk mengembalikan semula maruah serta mendapatkan penghormatan orang ramai.
"Kesemua permasalahan dalam parti telah mengelirukan orang ramai dan kami sangat malu dengan keadaan ini. Bagaimanapun, kami sedang mencuba sedaya upaya untuk terus bergerak seperti yang diarahkan oleh RoS," tambah beliau.
Selasa lepas, Palanivel menggantung keanggotaan Timbalannya Datuk Seri Dr S Subramaniam dan 14 ahli lain serta-merta selama setahun berikutan kegagalan mereka membatalkan mesyuarat Interim CWC penggal 2009-2013.
Subramaniam telah mengadakan mesyuarat pada hari Isnin setelah Mahkamah Tinggi memutuskan untuk menolak kedua-dua permohonan semakan kehakiman.
Subramaniam menyatakan bahawa Palanivel tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk menggantung beliau dan 14 yang lain, iaitu naib presiden Datuk M. Saravanan, Ketua Wanita Mohana Muniandy dan anggota-anggota CWC iaitu Devamany, N. Rawisandran, Datuk R. Ganesan, Datuk M.Davendran, Datuk K.R.A. Naidu, Datuk V.M. Panjamothy, P. Manivasagam, S. Ananthan, M. Mathuraiveran, Datuk M. Asojan, P. Shanmugan dan K.R. Parthiban.
Pada Selasa, Subramaniam juga telah mempengerusikan satu lagi mesyuarat CWC interim di ibu pejabat MIC walaupun keanggotaan dalam parti mereka telah dilucutkan.
Krisis MIC tercetus berikutan perbezaan pendapat di antara Palanivel dan timbalannya setelah RoS mengeluarkan notis pada 5 Dis yang mengarahkan parti tersebut mengadakan pemilihan baru bagi tiga jawatan Naib Presiden dan 23 anggota CWC.
RoS membatalkan keputusan pemilihan yang diadakan pada November 2013 berikutan aduan berlakunya penyelewengan.
Sementara itu, Prof Madya Dr Sarjit Singh Gill, pensyarah kanan Jabatan Sains Kemasyarakatan dan Pembangunan di Universiti Putra Malaysia, berkata segala kekecohan di dalam MIC mendatangkan kesan negatif terhadap masyarakat India dan memberi amaran bahawa pihak pembangkang akan mengambil kesempatan untuk kepentingan politik mereka.
"Saya melihat kesannya daripada aspek politik dan sosio-ekonomi di mana... akhirnya masyarakatlah yang akan rugi. Mereka telah meletakkan kepercayaan terhadap MIC tetapi lihatlah, apa yang berlaku kepada parti ini sekarang," katanya kepada Bernama.
Beliau menegaskan bahawa masyarakat telah menghadapi pelbagai masalah sosio-ekonomi dan sangat memerlukan pemimpin-pemimpin yang jujur serta boleh memahami kesusahan yang dialami sekaligus membantu mereka.
Sarjit berkata memandangkan Mahkamah Tinggi telah membuat keputusan berhubung perkara berkenaan, kedua-dua pemimpin teratas MIC sepatutnya bertemu untuk membincangkan tindakan selanjutnya.
"Tetapi ia tidak berlaku. Pemimpin-pemimpin tersebut tidak cuba menyelesaikan isu-isu terbabit, malah mencetuskan lebih banyak masalah... Sungguh tidak demokratik," kata beliau.
Prof Madya Dr Sivamurugan Pandian, pensyarah Pusat Pengajian Sains Kemasyarakatan Universiti Sains Malaysia pula berkata dua pemimpin utama parti berkenaan sepatutnya menggerakkan sumber-sumber parti dan fokus kepada menyelesaikan isu-isu tertunggak - bukannya saling berebut jawatan tertinggi parti.
Penganalisis politik itu berkata kegagalan parti untuk mencari jalan bagi memulihkan krisis tersebut menunjukkan bahawa ia lebih berminat memendam konflik dalaman dan bukannya untuk terus bergerak.
Beliau mengakui tidak akan terkejut jika kebanyakan pengundi berbangsa India akan mengenepikan MIC dan mengundi parti pembangkang pada pilihan raya umum akan datang.
Pada Rabu, Setiausaha Agung Barisan Nasional Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor berkata parti gabungan itu tidak akan masuk campur dalam krisis kepimpinan MIC yang semakin meruncing.
Beliau yang menyatakan kebimbangannya terhadap perkembangan terkini, bagaimanapun percaya parti itu boleh menyelesaikan masalah dalamannya.

'How Long Can PKR-led Government Survive In Selangor?', 18 June 2015
KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- The "divorce" between PAS and the DAP which destroyed the cooperation in the Opposition Pact (PR) so far has not affected the position of Mohamed Azmin Ali as the Menteri Besar in Selangor, but the PKR-led state government will be facing major challenges.
The Selangor government appears to be able to still function as usual but in a less effective manner.
This was the view of several political analysts with regard to the current political situation in Selangor especially with PAS and the DAP controlling 15 seats each in the State Legislative Assembly while the PKR only has 13 seats.
When PAS and the DAP can no longer sit down together, Mohamed Azmin who is also PKR deputy president, must now be extra cautious in his political game to manage the coalition government comprising the three political parties.
The dean of the School of International Studies of the College of Law, Government and International Studies, Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) Prof Madya Dr Mohd Azizuddin Mohd Sani said PKR must be smart in playing the political game to ensure that it continued to receive the support to lead the Selangor administration.
"Many perceive that Mohamed Azmin's position as the Menteri Besar will probably not be affected with the non-existence of the PR. But, it is not impossible that a state election may be imminent in Selangor," he told Bernama.
The Selangor State Legislative Assembly has 56 seats of which PAS holds 15, DAP (15), PKR (13), BN (12) and Independent (1). The PKR-led government currently is formed through the coalition between the DAP, PAS and PKR which hold 43 seats between them.
Dr Mohd Azizuddin said if Azmin was forced to make a choice between the DAP and PAS, and if he chooses to work together with the DAP, and accepts splinter members from PAS who have defected, then he would strain relations between the PKR and PAS.
If all the five PAS elected representatives do not support Azmin's leadership as they could no longer face the DAP assemblymen, then the PKR-led state government would lose its majority, he said.
This situation could arise because the DAP and PKR coalition would only hold 28 seats, thus equalling the seats held by the BN opposition, including the seat held by former menteri besar, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim who now functions as an Independent assemblyman supporting the opposition (BN).
If this scenario arises, Mohamed Azmin must again seek the support to form the state government with at least a simple majority, that is to obtain the support of 29 assemblymen.
"Azmin's position will also be affected if there are assemblymen calling for a vote of no-confidence against his leadership and that the State Assembly accepts the motion. His position will be shakened because such a situation may lead to a state election," he said.
Meanwhile, a lecturer at the Social Science Study Centre, Universiti Sains Malaysia Prof Madya Dr Sivamurugan Pandian said the Selangor PKR government could still function if the assemblymen from the two disputing parties remained with the state government leadership.
"However, without cooperation between the DAP and PAS, the elected representatives from both the political parties may no longer voice the views of their respective parties," he said.
He said if this happened, the state administration would become less effective because every decision was not made collectively like the case when the three political parties were in the opposition pact.

'MIC Needs Help From Third Party To Resolve Crisis - Analyst', Bernama, 18 June 2015
KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 (Bernama) -- MIC's internal crisis which has deepened considerably requires the intervention of a neutral party as mediator to resolve the crisis, political veterans and analysts said.
They feel it was time for MIC president Datuk Seri G. Palanivel and his deputy Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam provided help by a third party to resolve the problems faced by the party.
MCA veteran Datuk Yap Pian Hon said the MIC should take similar measures as MCA when the party was faced with a crisis in the 1980s, that was to allow Barisan Nasional (BN) to assist the party to resolve their internal crisis.
He said the current MIC crisis was very similar to that experienced by the MCA at that time when the president and deputy president were at loggerheads.
"With the help of BN's negotiations, MCA was reunited," he told Bernama here today when referring to the MCA's leadership crisis involving Datuk Dr Neo Yee Pan and Datuk Mak Hoon Kam with Tan Koon Swan in 1985.
Umno veteran Datuk Mustapha Yaakub said the MIC does not need to be cold towards help that is offered by third parties, especially from BN component parties who want to help.
"BN wants to help solve the problem, but do not let our good intentions be misinterpreted. MIC proved today that it cannot resolve the problem within, it is best the MIC finds a solution through mediators outside MIC irrespective whether the help is from UMNO, MCA or even Gerakan," he said.
Former Wanita Umno chief, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, is of the opinion that BN component parties should give priority to the interests of the party and BN.
She said if any party in BN is really facing an impasse in resolving the crisis that has engulfed the party, the party leadership should seek the advice of BN's top leadership.
Meanwhile, political analyst Associate Professor Dr Ahmad Marthada Mohamed of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) said both MIC leaders must put aside their personal interest and come to a compromise in order to resolve the crisis.
"I'm sure they realise, if they do not attempt to sit together and solve this crisis amicably, MIC in particular will be doomed and become irrelevant," the dean of the college of Law, Government and International Studies told Bernama today.
He pointed out that although the crisis in MIC was not something new as it also happened during previous leadership, Palanivel seems to be dragging it without a clear solution.
In fact the recent court decision rejecting Palanivel and four others' request to nullify the Registrar of Societies (RoS) order to hold fresh party elections, seemed to have taken a new twist.
Marthada also shared the same sentiment as others that a mediator was needed in this crisis and the mediator could come from within the party or be an outsider because
BN had tried to intervene but it seems MIC leaders refused as they initially wanted to solve the problem by themselves.
Another political analyst, Associate Professor Dr Sivamurugan Pandian, suggested that fresh elections for all posts, including party president and deputy president, would be the best solution to solve the crisis.
"This solution, in my opinion, would resolve and put a stop to the matter. This problem must not go on until it damages the 68 year-old party's image," the lecturer with Universiti Sains Malaysia's Social Science Studies Centre said.

Meanwhile, political analyst Associate Professor Dr Ahmad Marthada Mohamed of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) said both MIC leaders must put aside their personal interest and come to a compromise in order to resolve the crisis.
"I'm sure they realise, if they do not attempt to sit together and solve this crisis amicably, MIC in particular will be doomed and become irrelevant," the dean of the college of Law, Government and International Studies told Bernama today.
He pointed out that although the crisis in MIC was not something new as it also happened during previous leadership, Palanivel seems to be dragging it without a clear solution.
In fact the recent court decision rejecting Palanivel and four others' request to nullify the Registrar of Societies (RoS) order to hold fresh party elections, seemed to have taken a new twist.
Marthada also shared the same sentiment as others that a mediator was needed in this crisis and the mediator could come from within the party or be an outsider because
BN had tried to intervene but it seems MIC leaders refused as they initially wanted to solve the problem by themselves.
Another political analyst, Associate Professor Dr Sivamurugan Pandian, suggested that fresh elections for all posts, including party president and deputy president, would be the best solution to solve the crisis.
"This solution, in my opinion, would resolve and put a stop to the matter. This problem must not go on until it damages the 68 year-old party's image," the lecturer with Universiti Sains Malaysia's Social Science Studies Centre said.

'Hold Re-Elections And Move On, MIC Told', Bernama, 19 June 2015
By S. Kisho Kumari
KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- The MIC's image took yet another beating this week following the turn of events after the High Court on Monday rejected two judicial review applications to annul the Registrar of Societies' (RoS) directive to the MIC to hold re-elections.
The applications were filed by MIC President Datuk Seri G. Palanivel and four others.
Datuk Seri S.K. Devamany, a member of the RoS-recognised interim 2009-2013 Central Working Committee (CWC), said with the court ruling, it was time for the MIC to conduct re-elections and move forward.
"We've been caught in the doldrums for far too long. People are questioning the relevance of this party and they think we're only interested in holding onto power, rather than worry about this 70-year-old party's representation of the Indian community in Malaysia," he said.
He told Bernama the court decision reconfirmed the validity of the interim 2009-2013 CWC, in which the RoS has vested the responsibility to conduct re-elections to decide the future destiny of the party.
Stressing that the party could only get its house in order after the fresh elections, Devamany said there was a dire need for the MIC to work towards reinstating its dignity and earning the respect of the people.
"All that turmoil in the party has been confusing the people and we are feeling embarrassed too. But we're trying our best to get things moving as per the RoS directive," he said.
NO POWER
On Tuesday, Palanivel suspended his deputy Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam and 14 others for a year with immediate effect for defying his orders not to hold the party's interim 2009-2013 CWC meeting.
Subramaniam had convened the meeting on Monday following the High Court's decision to reject the two judicial review applications.
Subramaniam has claimed that Palanivel has no power to suspend him and the 14 others, namely MIC vice-president Datuk M. Saravanan, Wanita chief Mohana Muniandy and CWC members Devamany, N. Rawisandran, Datuk R. Ganesan, Datuk M. Davendran, Datuk K.R.A. Naidu, Datuk V.M. Panjamothy, P. Manivasagam, S. Ananthan, M. Mathuraiveran, Datuk M. Asojan, P. Shanmugan and K.R. Parthiban.
On Tuesday, Subramaniam chaired another interim CWC meeting at the MIC headquarters although their party membership had been suspended.
The MIC crisis erupted following differences in opinion between Palanivel and his deputy after the RoS issued a notice last Dec 5 directing the party to hold fresh elections for the three vice-presidential and 23 CWC posts.
The RoS had nullified the elections held in November 2013 following complaints of irregularities.
NEGATIVE IMPACT FROM COMMOTION
Meanwhile, Assoc Prof Dr Sarjit Singh Gill, who is a senior lecturer at Universiti Putra Malaysia's Department of Social Sciences and Development, said all that commotion in the MIC was having a negative impact on the Indian community and warned that the opposition could capitalise on it to gain political mileage.
"I'm looking at the impact from the political to the socio-economic aspects...it's the community who will be at the losing end at the end of the day. They have placed their trust in MIC but look at what is happening to the party now," he told Bernama.
He said the community has enough socio-economic woes to contend with and seriously required sincere leaders who could look into their plight and help them.
Sarjit said since the High Court had already passed judgement on the matter, the two top MIC leaders should meet and discuss the next course of action.
"But this is not happening. The leaders are not trying to settle the issues, in fact they're creating more problems...very undemocratic," he added.
Assoc Prof Dr Sivamurugan Pandian, a lecturer at Universiti Sains Malaysia's School of Social Sciences, said the party's top two leaders - instead of claiming ownership of the top party post - should mobilise the party's resources and focus on resolving the various outstanding issues.
The political analyst said the party's failure in finding remedies to settle the crisis showed that it was more interested in stoking up its internal conflict than to move forward.
He added that he would not be surprised if most Indian voters abandoned the MIC and voted for the opposition at the next general election.
Barisan Nasional Secretary-General Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor had said on Wednesday that the coalition would not intervene in the worsening MIC leadership crisis.
Although he expressed his concern over the current developments, he believed that the party could sort out its problems internally.

'Krisis Pakatan Rakyat Ibarat 'Politik Ulang Tayang' - Penganalisis', Bernama, 16 Jun 2015
Analisa Berita Oleh Nik Nurfaqih Nik Wil
KUALA LUMPUR, 16 Jun (Bernama) -- Apa yang berlaku terhadap Pakatan Rakyat ibarat 'politik ulang tayang' yang mempamerkan trend normal kegagalan beberapa lagi pakatan parti pembangkang yang pernah terbentuk dalam negara sebelum ini.
Penganalisis politik, Md Shukri Shuib menarik perhatian pakatan pembangkang jika dilihat, secara konsistennya, tidak pernah berjaya kekal begitu lama.
Ini termasuk gabungan Semangat 46 dan PAS dalam Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah dan Semangat 46 dan DAP menerusi Gagasan Rakyat.
Namun, bercakap kepada Bernama, Pensyarah Kanan Hal Ehwal Politik dan Antarabangsa, Universiti Utara Malaysia itu berkata bukan cerita mengenai kegagalan mereka yang penting tetapi impak kegagalan mereka kepada rakyat.
Menurutnya, timbul banyak persoalan terutama ke atas negeri dipimpin secara bersama oleh mereka, khususnya negeri Selangor yang merupakan antara negeri maju dalam negara.
"Pembubaran pakatan ini, impaknya bukan sahaja pada kerjasama sesama parti, tapi melibatkan persoalan pembubaran ikatan kongsi kuasa di Selangor.
"Tempias utama adalah mengenai kedudukan kerajaan negeri Selangor serta ia akan beri gambaran keadaan ketidaktentuan," dakwanya.
Pakatan Rakyat merupakan pakatan tidak rasmi yang dibentuk pada 1 April 2008 oleh DAP, PAS dan PKR selepas Pilihan Raya Umum ke-12.
Bagaimanapun, pakatan itu diisytihar tidak lagi wujud oleh DAP selepas jawatankuasa eksekutif pusatnya mencapai kata putus pada mesyuaratnya semalam.
Setiausaha Agung DAP, Lim Guan Eng dalam kenyataannya hari ini berkata, keputusan yang dibuat Muktamar PAS sebelum ini untuk memutuskan hubungan dengan DAP telah 'membunuh' pakatan itu.
Seorang lagi penganalisis politik, Prof Madya Dr Sivamurugan Pandian berkata fokus sekarang adalah terhadap pentadbiran negeri Selangor yang mana PAS dan DAP masing-masing memegang 15 kerusi, manakala PKR 13, BN 12 dan Bebas 1.
"Kalau kesemua (PKR, PAS, DAP) bersetuju untuk bekerjasama maka PKR boleh terus memimpin, kalau tidak mungkin pilihan raya negeri perlu diadakan, yang mana saya rasa seeloknya-eloknya dielakkan," katanya.
Pensyarah kanan Pusat Pengajian Sains Kemasyarakatan di Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) itu bagaimanapun kesal, kerana rakyat telah memberi satu bentuk kepercayaan kepada Pakatan Rakyat dan mengharapkan prestasi perkhidmatan terbaik.
"Saya lihat, keputusan banyak bergantung kepada PKR, sama ada mahu kekal atau mencari alternatif kerjasama baharu yang barang kali akan bawa titik tolak baharu," katanya.
Isu perbalahan dalaman gabungan pembangkang yang berlanjutan sejak sekian lama menjadi lebih serius selepas Dewan Ulama PAS pada 3 Jun lepas sebulat suara meluluskan usul tergempar untuk memutuskan hubungan dengan DAP dalam Muktamar Tahunan PAS ke-61.
DAP yang 'terguris hati' dengan usul Dewan Ulama, kebelakangan ini semakin agresif memberikan tekanan yang mahu anggota PAS meletak jawatan dalam kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang.
Lim pada Khamis lepas dilapor sebagai berkata keengganan kepimpinan baharu PAS untuk mengarahkan wakil PAS di negeri itu meletak jawatan dalam pentadbiran kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang adalah sangat memalukan.
Timbalan Presiden PKR, Mohamed Azmin Ali pula sebelum ini ketika didesak mengenai pendirian PKR mengenai usul PAS, meminta rakan sekutunya supaya tidak mengheret beliau dalam kemelut politik mereka yang disifatkannya seperti 'permainan kebudak-budakan'.
Pada Sabtu lepas, beliau bagaimanapun dilaporkan mengalu-alukan penubuhan parti politik baharu yang dicadangkan oleh Persatuan Ummah Sejahtera Malaysia (Pasma) bagi menggantikan PAS dalam Pakatan Rakyat.

'Pakatan Rakyat Crisis, A Replay Of Past Opposition Pact Failures', Bernama, 17 June 2015
By Nik Nurfaqih Nik Wil
KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- What is happening to Pakatan Rakyat is a replay of the failures of several other opposition party pacts formed in the country.
Political analyst Md Shukri Shuib drew attention to the fact that opposition pacts were found consistently to be unable to stay together for long.
This included the coalition of Semangat 46 and PAS in Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah and Semangat 46 and DAP via Gagasan Rakyat.
Speaking to Bernama, the Universiti Utara Malaysia Political and International Studies senior lecturer, said however it was not about their failures which was important but the impact of their failures on the people.
It raised many questions, especially on states jointly led by them, specifically Selangor which was among the most developed states in the country.
"The impact of the dissolution of this pact is not only on the cooperation among the parties but also involved the question of the dissolution of power-sharing ties in Selangor.
"The main spillover effect is on the position of the Selangor state government and it will give an overview on the state of uncertainty, "he claimed.
Pakatan Rakyat is an unofficial pact which was formed on April 1, 2008 by DAP, PAS and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) after the 12th general election.
However, the pact was declared as having ceased to exist by DAP after its central executive committee arrived at a consensus during its meeting yesterday.
DAP secretary-general, Lim Guan Eng, in a statement today, said the decision which was made by the PAS Assembly prior to this to sever ties with DAP had killed the pact.
Another political analyst, associate professor Dr Sivamurugan Pandian said the focus now was towards the administration of Selangor whereby PAS and DAP each held 15 seats, PKR (13), Barisan Nasional (12) and independent (one).
"If all (PKR, PAS, DAP) agree to cooperate, PKR can continue to lead, otherwide a state election must be held, which I feel should be avoided," he said.
The Universiti Sains Malaysia's Centre for Social Science Studies senior lecturer, however, expressed his regret, because the people had given a form of trust to Pakatan rakyat and hoped for the best service performance from them.
"I see, the decision depends a lot on PKR, whether to maintain the status quo or find a new cooperation alternative which probably bring a new base point," he said.
The squabble in Pakatan Rakyat which had been dragging for so long became more serious after the PAS Dewan Ulama on June 3 unanimously approved an emergency motion to sever ties with DAP at the 61st PAS Assembly.
DAP, which was hurt at the motion of the Dewan Ulama, lately became more aggressive in pressuring PAS members to resign from their posts in the Penang state government.
Lim, on Thursday, was reported as saying the refusal of the new PAS leadership to direct PAS representatives in the state to resign from the Penang state government administration was very shameful.
PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali, on his part prior to this, when pressed on PKR's stand on the motion by PAS, told his allies not to drag him into their political crisis which he regarded as 'childish'.
On Saturday, he, nevertheless, was reported to have lauded the formation of a new political party which was proposed by the Ummah Welfare Association Malaysia (Pasma) to replace PAS in Pakatan Rakyat.
