KOTA TINGGI, Aug. 17 -- MIC has confirmed informal discussions with Perikatan Nasional (PN) as the party considers its future direction outside the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.

MIC president Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran said its leadership is reviewing its trajectory after motions from grassroots members in Kedah and Penang urged support for PN, Harian Metro reported yesterday.

"Yes, we acknowledge having informal discussions with PN regarding MIC's direction. MIC has nothing to hide (about discussions with PN), this is not a secret affair. MIC (leadership) will decide our own direction, but we hold no grudges against anyone," Vigneswaran was quoted as saying in a press conference after the 79th Johor MIC delegates convention here.
