Barisan Nasional (BN) Secretary-General Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir has announced that he will formally request a written explanation from the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) following the attendance of its Deputy Youth chief, K. Kesavan, at Bersatu's Armada Annual General Assembly.

The event, which took place on the 7th of September in Bagan Datuk, has drawn criticism from BN Chairman and Umno President, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. In a press conference, Ahmad Zahid expressed his disapproval of the attendance, referring to it as "not a good manifestation."

Ahmad Zahid also stated that no BN component party should send representatives to attend any meeting organized by a party outside the Madani Government. He added that it is up to the MIC leadership to take any disciplinary action in accordance with the party's rules.

The press conference was held after Ahmad Zahid officiated the Motivasi Desa (MODE)@Kemas KKDW and Bakti Madani@KPT programmes. The location and specific details about the events or their implications were not provided.

Ahmad Zahid has made a statement about the incident, stating that the written explanation will be requested on the matter of K. Kesavan's attendance at Bersatu's Armada Annual General Assembly. The date for the press conference and any subsequent programmes was not specified.

This request for an explanation comes as a response to the attendance of MIC's Deputy Youth chief at Bersatu's Armada (Youth wing) Annual General Assembly. No further specific details about the disciplinary action or its implications were provided in this announcement.
