Barisan Bertindak Hak-hak Hindu (Hindraf) mencabar menteri dalam negeri dan TV3 menyiarkan rakaman lengkap rumah terbuka Aidilfitri perdana menteri yang menunjukkan penyokong mereka biadap.
Pengerusi Hindraf, P Waythamoorthy juga mengecam Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar, stesen televisyen itu dan Utusan Malaysia berhubung laporan mereka yang mendakwa sedemikian.Beliau, yang juga adik seorang lagi tokoh gerakan tersebut P Uthayakumar yang kini ditahan bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA), mendakwa dua media itu "sengaja mengapi-apikan semangat perkauman" terhadap Hindraf. "Sekiranya benar tohmahan-tohmahan mereka, mengapa mereka tidak berani menayangkan gambar dan klip yang kononnya penyokong Hindraf bersikap biadap dan kurang ajar," katanya. "Sebaliknya kami mempunyai bukti kukuh yang menunjukkan yang perdana menteri, timbalan beliau dan ramai lagi menteri-menteri kabinet yang senyum panjang dan menerima salamam penyokong Hindraf dengan hati terbuka dengan semangat maaf zahir dan batin.
"Waythamoorthy mengakui penyokong Hindraf merayu Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi agar membebaskan lima pemimpin gerakan itu yang kini meringkuk di kem tahanan Kamunting, Taiping sejak Disember lepas."Apakah rayuan ini boleh dianggap mencemar agama Islam? Motif Utusan dan TV3 mengapikan sentimen perkauman dan agama harus dikutuk oleh semua lapisan masyarakat Malaysia," katanya dalam satu kenyataan. Menurutnya, yang kini berada di London, dalam satu perjumpaan Hindraf dengan setiausaha Abdullah seminggu sebelum majlis berkenaan, mereka dimaklumkan bahawa perdana menteri "tiada bantahan" atas kunjungan mereka di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC). "Seramai lebih 500 orang penyokong Hindraf menghadiri majlis tersebut tetapi kurang daripada 50 penyokong dibenarkan bersalaman dengan perdana menteri. "Kami datang dengan niat ikhlas dengan semangat maaf zahir batin, di samping merayu supaya perdana menteri membebaskan semua tahanan ISA di hari mulia ini," katanya.

Hope they try to BAN Hindraf... that will be liken censoring the internet. As an Indian and looking at the state of the Malaysian Indians in this country, honestly I wont be surprised if there are death threats and even deaths next.

Hoi budak botak dari Johor! Kumpulan tu bukan dari kumpulan pelampau. Mereka hanya mengusulkan sahaja, macam jugak masa budak ingusan Saipul pukimak tu pergi kat putrajaya di pejabat TPM minta sain untuk dapatkan biasiswa. SALAH KE TU?. Kalau salah, bagus jangan jadi menterilah. Nasibbaik bukan keluarga saya yang engkau ambil tindakan macam tu. Andai belaku, saya akan pastikan budak botak ni sentiasa kekal berada di kandang 4X6.

If the HIndraf were rude or unruly They had not been allowed to enter the function in the first place..The cctv had been place allover the corner.They could always refer to recordings..Moreover Paklah's bodyguards for sure wont let the commotions to happen..Arrest will be made if the Hindraf supporters were unruly..But nothing happened..The Hariraya functions go on unscathed till the end.. It seem Paklah lying again...

It eschews constructive criticism and encourages cult worship of its imprisoned leaders who by one stroke of luck or genius, the Barisan government, like them or not, put away to render the organisation a headless serpent.
Its claim to the High Court in London is embarassing, fails to particularise the facts it relies on, does not sufficiently disclose a cause of action and is embarassing.
If Hindraf and its core members will only allow all Indians to participate instead of those who are sychophants to the leadership, it can be more effective than it already is.
Unfortunately the path it chooses is strewn with missed opportunities and lost causes.
By now an effective leadership instead of organising ineffective self defeating marches and demonstrations could have organised the most effective of all pressure tactics no nation in the current economic climate can affford to ignore.
Stop paying taxes and nominate the 14th of April the birthdate of economist and anti class caste crusader Dr. Ambedekar as the starting date for acts of civil disobedience.
No nation can afford to be without even a fraction of the taxes it collects. Indians do not receive the benefits every citizen is entitled to from government funded by their taxes. Indians in Malaysia are not an insignificant minority. The elections of 8 march 2008 proved that. A bit of skewing can achieve miracles. It is time to ride the bucking horse of the Barisan a self proclaaimed friend and champion of the rights of all Malaysians. It is not the Malays to blame but a Malay Chinese and Indian led government that exploits Malay fears and pits them against Indians in this case.
Open your doors Hindraf to the diaspora. We have the talent, the monetary resources, the organisaitonal abilities, networks and the intellect to garner all the support you need.
Many amonsgt us are Malaysians working abroad for the same reasons many of you in Malaysia are not working. Prejudices, divisive politics and corruption at the highest levels.
Call for a general boycott of the income tax laws and stop paying taxes. They give you nothing for it. They kill your children with impunity, they torture and rape, snatch bodies in an act of defilement of the dead and act in a most unislamic fashion.
Unless you are ready to accept a broader body of membership yo will end up like the Samy Velu's of this world.
Stop paying taxes and any other state impost till a public independent inquiry into the death of Kugan and other Indians in custody or at the hands of the police is agreed to with an independent international panel, let Malaysia go back to the days when people lived like we live today. Without full rights.
Such a move will compel others to force the issues out into the open because at this juncure in its development Malaysia cannot afford a drop in its economic performance. These are trying times. They have the guns and the forces of arms, we can show a force of intellectual dimensions capable of peacefully overcomming their guns and killings.
The Anwars and Kit Sinags of this world conveniently take credit for your sacrifices and efforts. They have to be jettisoned as time wasters and opportunists. Leanr the art of negotiation. Negotiate with those progressives within government, they too are embarassed and outraged by what Barisan is doing in their name.
You must be positive and not insular and cult like at the top. Lets all work towards now embarassing Britaain into action, into being responsible for the trouble Hindraf and all Indians in Malaysia face and use them as the unwilling bullwark against the Barisan government of Badawi and Razak. Act now.
14th April 2009.
