KUALA LUMPUR: The MIC says that it has been wooing the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) in secret discussions, but the group has rejected this claim outright.
MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said the party had been holding discussions with Hindraf youth leaders in Kedah, Perak and Selangor, which he said went well. He said the meetings went well as the Hindraf leaders realised that the MIC was also fighting to upgrade the living standards of the Indian community.
"Whatever happened in the past, especially in the March polls, is history. We must work together for the betterment of the community," he said, claiming that some of the Hindraf leaders also regretted their decision to support the opposition.
Hindraf national event co-ordinator Kannan Ramasamy, when contacted, said he was baffled by Samy Velu’s claims as none of the movement’s 10 coordinators had met any MIC leaders.
“Hindraf does not have a membership roll. It is led by P. Waythamoorthy who is assisted by 10 coordinators and as far as I know, none of us had met anyone from the MIC,” added Kannan.
Hindraf national coordinator R.S Thanenthiran concurred and added the only best thing that happened from supporting the opposition was the awareness created that Indians mattered in the country.
“For the first time ever, it has been made known to the minority Indians that they had the power to bring changes through the ballot box,” he added.
Both Thanenthiran and Kannan advised Samy Vellu to back off and concentrate on rebuilding the MIC.

MIC Hindraf talks should be encouraged for the sake of Indian Hindu unity just like the PAS UMNO talks.
Nobody should feel alarmed by this. The Indians should unity and further forge Malaysian unity and International unity henceforth.
I hope the Malays and Chinese wont feel threatened by the MIC Hindraf talks.
What the Indians need today is a new movement - UNITED Malaysian Indian Organization or a totally revamped MIC renamed United Malaysian Indian Congress. The bottom line is UNITY - no issues on devars,kaunders, tamils, malayalee,telugus.It must be lead by qualified young leaders whose sole purpose is to serve Indians and Malaysians NOT family, relatives, friends, cronies. Since we have been sleeping too, too long under DSSvellu, we nedd to put together an India Strategy Institute that will encourage young Indians to become entrepreneurs instead of gangsters to be shot down as wild ducks.There's one society that cannot afford dirty politics anymore , the Malaysian Indians. Time for Vivekanandas, A.Kalams and Manmohans to move in.

UMNO talking to PAS,and now MIC talking to HINDRAF.So when is MCA going to talk to DAP?
Talk to MIC?. You must be kidding right?. SAMY and the gang is still around. None of the MIC leaders really fight for the INDIAN. Subramaniam is actually same as SAMY. Future for Indian through MIC, you must be joking. Malay and Chinese feel treatened by MIC Hidraf talk?. Really stupid statement. Why don't ask BN goverment to release the heroes of Hidraf from ISA, then only talk.
MIC & HINDRAF - Rela Demi Masyarakat India???
"Bulan Merdeka "Tanah tumpah darahku" akan tiba. Saya akan mencuba menulis artikel saya dalam bahasa malaysia sepanjang bulan ogos. Minta maaf kalau ayat- ayat atau kata- kata yang saya gunakan berbau bahasa indonesia atau english."
Melalui Malaysiakini dam media lain, Isu Muzakarah UMNO-PAS semakin lama menjadi semakin panas. Semalam, YB Tuk Guru Nik Aziz telah mengsulkan untuk PAS dan UMNO dibubarkan dan menjadi satu parti . Pada pendapat saya, muzakarah ini satu tindakan yang patut dibanggakan dan dipuji. Untuk kepentingan bangsa, 2 parti musuh sanggup duduk semeja bincang. Agenda politik diketepikan, agenda melayu diutamakan.
MIC DAN HINDRAF - Rela demi Masyarakat India???
Saya pernah menulis satu artikel, "BN and PR Indian YBs : TALK FOR INDIAN'S AGENDA???" minggu lalu. Saya mendapat respond dari beberapa YB termasuk YB Dato Saravanan (MIC) yang mengaku beliau banyak kerjasama dengan YB PR dlam agenda kaum india "Deepavali Controversy".YB Manickavasagam (KEADILAN) dalam email beliau kepada saya , "YB MANIKAVASAGAM'S REPLY ON MY blogPOST" mengatakan bahawa beliau sanggup bekerjasama dengan MIC jika ada keperluan atau tuntutan dari masyarakat india.
Semalam Presiden MIC, Dato Seri Samy Vely telah mengatakan, sejak GE-12 , MIC telah mengadakan pertemuan dengan pemimpim- pemimpin HINDRAF terutama "negeri-negeri utara" MIC wooing Hindraf, says Samy. Menurut beliau, pertemuan awal dengan mereka berjalan dengan baik. Dan mereka sanggup bekerjasama juka MIC ikhlas. Sebaliknya, Mr.Thanenthiran , koordinator umum HINDRAF malaysia menolak bahawa pemimpin HINDRAF mengadakan perbicangan dengan MIC.
Pada GE-12 HINDRAF menyokong PR kerana tidak puas hati dengan Barisan Nasional. Selepas GE-12 ada pemimpin HINDRAF yang mengatakan mereka tidak begitu puas hati dengan PR dalam beberapa hal.Berita mengenai hal itu tersiar di Malaysiakini, "Hindraf: Why so few Indian councillors in Perak?". Menurut Ketua Umum HINDRAF, Mr. Wythamoorthy yang sekarang berada di london, HINDRAF akan selamanya "apolitical" . Ia akan bekerjasama dengan siapa sahaja yang bekerja untuk kepenting masyarakat india di negara ini.
Kalau terlalu panjang artikel di blog, akan kelihatan seperti Buku cerita..:) Saya akan lanjuti artikel ini dalam bahagian kedua mengenai "MIC dan HINDRAF dan kenapa masyarakat india dan negara perlu mereka kerjasama"
