MIC oh MIC

The MIC has promised reforms. Thus far it looks superficial in the sense that there are no infusion of young blood. Of course T Mohan the current coordinator for the Youth Wing following SA Vigneswaran's departure from the party cannot be considered as new blood. Officiating a MIC meeting yesterday, he castigated those threatening him as 'mere kids'. Being a non supporter of MIC I am quite sceptical about the rebranding efforts undertaken by Samy Vellu for the MIC. ALl three Tamil news papers gave adequate covereage on the MIC meeting in today's edition.

It is my belief that the MIC would not be able to play a larger for now. Previously even with a sizeable representation in various levels of the government, there was nothing much that the MIC was able to do.
