This has proved that MACC practices transparency in their investigations regardless of any individual,” said Mugilan. Meanwhile, KP Samy said the documents of proof provided by GAS would be sufficient enough to prompt MACC to begin its investigation. “Samy Vellu in his affidavit also pleaded guilty for the deviation was done by him. Therefore MACC should act immediately to investigate this report, otherwise people would not believe in them (MACC) anymore” said KP Samy. Rather than tell reporters that this rally is just a gimmick to warn Samy Vellu they also stress that they don’t have to come up with new evidence since the previous evidence is sufficient to against Samy Vellu Also present at the press conference is their lawyers Thiru Kumar and Rajasekaran.
