KUALA LUMPUR: Police have exposed the activities of a group of so-called missionaries who go about criticising other religions.

\u00c2\u201cIt has been found that many followers felt cheated,\u00c2\u201d 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 \u00c2\u201cmissionaries\u00c2\u201d.
He said the outcome of the police investigations would be forwarded to the Attorney-General\u00c2\u2019s 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.
