PETALING JAYA: Political parties from both sides of the divide continue to question deputy minister M. Kulasegaran’s (pic) impartiality when he accompanied activist Arun Dorasamy, who was charged at the Jawi court complex in Penang. Kulasegaran’s fellow DAP leaders said his presence outside the court complex with Arun has raised public concern over the integrity of the legal system. Previously, leaders from Umno, PKR, PAS and Bersatu had also voiced their opposition to his presence with Arun at the court complex. PAS information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari said the deputy minister seemed to have plenty of free time to spend with people facing charges in court. Kulasegaran had earlier denied being present in court when activist Arun was charged with allegedly stirring racial and religious tensions.
