HINDRAF : Pakatan Rakyat marginalize Indians???- MALAYSIAKINI
IPOH: The Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) will split allegiances with Pakatan Rakyat if the coalition showed that it could not improve the lot of the Indian community.
Its national information coordinator S. Jayathas foresaw a time when Hindraf would have to split ranks and support Barisan Nasional instead, if Barisan proved it could do better.
“It would be up to the Hindraf chairman to decide whether to split from Pakatan,” Jayathas said after leading an anti-Internal Security Act convoy of 100 vehicles from a temple here yesterday.
“The challenge now is for Pakatan and Barisan to prove who can do better. We will wait and see.
“Until then, we will keep on demanding that Pakatan work for the betterment of the Indians,” he added.
Jayathas said Hindraf sought support from the Opposition because MIC had failed to address the community’s issues in Parliament.
Jayathas stressed that Hindraf was a group that also wanted better job opportunities, respect and dignity for the Indian community.
He added that Hindraf’s allegiance with the Opposition parties did not mean that the group had given up on MIC.
Perak is the latest state after Negri Sembilan, Penang and Selangor to host the road show convoy aimed at calling for the abolition of the Internal Security Act and the release of all detainees.
