Several Hulu Selangor MIC local leaders have issued an ultimatum to the BN leadership to field deputy president G Palanivel or they will shut down the party's branches in the constituency.
The ultimatum was delivered just 24 hours ahead of the planned announcement of the candidate by BN deputy chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin.
About half of the branch chiefs, representing some 30 of the 72 branches in Hulu Selangor, went to the MIC division headquarters in Kuala Kubu Bharu this afternoon to express concern that Palanivel could be snubbed by top BN leaders.
