Met at a book launch in Petaling Jaya earlier, Xavier denied having resorted to violence to solve the fracas during the party's division level election yesterday. <br /> <br />"I didn't punch or kick anyone... But what do you when someone barges tries to throw and tear the ballots," he asked. <br /> <br />As the division's incumbent chief Xavier said he was compelled to "protect and safeguard" the ballot boxes from any harm. <br /> <br />"Tension and frustration were running high and it did get rough but we managed to settle it within minutes," he said. <br /> <br />Xavier, contented with the unofficial results citing that he won, said that the members were happy with his performance despite the rumours and accusations that have been going around. <br /> <br />Full story here: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/143779 <br /> <br />Camera: Mohd Kamal Ishak <br />Editing: Shufiyan Shukur
