The Politeknik Seberang Perai (PSP) management team has denied telling a former Indian canteen operator to convert to Islam so that he can continue operating his stall, said Penang MIC Youth chief M Pirakash.

Pirakash said his team, including state MIC youth treasurer M Shanmugam and the party’s state executive secretary L Muneshwaran has paid PSP director Zulkifli Ariffin a visit, and the latter denied the claims made by the canteen caterer Gopi Krishnan Gopal.
