Hulu Selangor MP P Kamalanathan said today he would be meeting parents and the management of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kuala Kubu Baharu on Friday over a controversy that broke out at the school in connection with the Interlok issue on Monday.

He said he hoped the controversy could be settled amicably so that the situation at the school could revert to normal.

"I will ensure that the students at the centre of the controversy take back their text books on the Interlock novel as it is compulsory reading for the literature subject," he told Bernama today.

On Monday, several Form Five students who had tried to return the book to the school principal alleging it contained contents offensive, had claimed that a teacher had used derogatory words agaiinst them for doing so.

Kamalanthan added that he left it to the police to investigate the police reports lodged by the teacher and students respectively in the connection with the incident
