IGP warns of group playing up religious sentiments
KUALA LUMPUR: Police have exposed the activities of a group of so-called missionaries who go about criticising other religions.
Inspector-General Tan Sri Musa Hassan said that 131 reports had been lodged by disillusioned followers, who were not happy about the activities of the group, which used Hinduism and Christianity as a front.
“It has been found that many followers felt cheated,” he said in a statement yesterday.
He said Selangor police were carrying out investigations based on the reports lodged by the followers.
Musa said activities carried out in the name of religion that create disharmony, enmity and hatred could jeopardise national harmony and solidarity. It is also a form of criminal intimidation.
He said that on April 13, representatives of the Association of Hindu Religious Leaders briefed him on the activities of the “missionaries”.
He said the outcome of the police investigations would be forwarded to the Attorney-GeneralÂ’s Chambers for further action.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Hindu Sangam president Datuk A. Vaithilingam said the group, operating in Kota Damansara, was active within the Klang Valley, holding spiritual talks to gain influence.
He said they insulted the Hindu religion in their talks. – Bernama
