Incident has angered the Indian community, says MIC


KUALA LUMPUR: The Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) could have avoided an uproar in the country if it had been more sensitive to the feelings of non-Muslims when it raided a Hindu wedding in Shah Alam on Sunday, the MIC said.

“Clearly, the incident has affected the family and also angered the Indian community in the country, even if it’s only to investigate complaints from the public and to ascertain someone’s religious status,” MIC secretary-general A. Prakash Rao said in a statement here yesterday.
