He pronounced a disaster of a Tamil schools to utilize a account prior to December, 2012 would result in a income "going back" to a Finance Ministry.
Rajendran pronounced Palanivel, a Minister in a Prime Minister's Department, who has been entrusted to hoop a special grant for Tamil schools, should come purify on a matter as well as not stay wordless without giving any explanation.
"Palanivel should take a censure since nobody in a MIC has any believe as well as clue as to what had happened to a grant he has been handling this [allocation] without even informing his celebration leaders where a income was going," he told FMT.
It was reported in Feb which a Cabinet had agreed to channel a funds by Surya Cooperative, set up by a celebration in October, final year.
The RM100 million grant was meant for 369 partially-aided Tamil schools nationwide for 3 categories, namely upkeep as well as upgrade, office building one more blocks as well as office building brand new schools.
However, it is learnt which a 369 partially-aided Tamil schools in a list were reduced to 224 by Palanivel.
Rajendran pronounced a p! roblem w as further compounded after Surya Cooperative director D Ravindran disagreed with Palanivel's devise to revoke a number of schools meant to receive a aid.

"Palanivel told them [CEC members] which he will tell them details of a account soon though until right away zero has been made public," pronounced a CWC member when contacted.
Rajendran pronounced a income should be entirely utilised as sending behind a unused income to a method would be "a stupid" move.
"Once a income is sent back, they [MIC] have to start a total routine again if there have been Tamil schools wanting benefit as well as this would take time. Even if a income is rolled behind as well as combined to a other RM100 million voiced in a 2013 Budget, a routine of requesting for funds would be long as well as tedious," pronounced a antithesis grassroots leader.
The thought of special grant to schools nationwide was mooted by Najib in a pierce to ascent a condition of partially-aided schools.
