KUALA LUMPUR: Claims made by the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) do not represent the views of the majority of Indians.  <\/p>\n\n<\/table>\n

Social Strategic Foundation executive director Datuk Denison Jayasooria said the organisation wanted to trigger religious sensitivities by using words like ethnic cleansing. "This is simply wrong. Their ploy will diminish the status of Indians." Jayasooria said this proved that Hindraf's motives were far from the truth and questionable. He said Indians had to be cautious and not be exploited by these claims which were baseless.  <\/p>\n

"I believe that Indians can distinguish between what is true and what is not." Jayasooria said it was up to the police to investigate Hindraf's claims. He said the government had helped many Indians become successful through various opportunities. "This clearly indicates that there are opportunities for Indians to progress in the country. "This has been achieved by addressing problems through democratic principles." Asked how Hindraf's claims had affected the Indian community, he said the government had responded by investigating its claims through organisations like the police and MIC.<\/p>\n

"If Hindraf leaders claim to be followers of Gandhian principles, the act of throwing stones and opposing authority would not have happened." He said Malaysia was a proven model of a multi-racial democratic society which applied the due process of law and parliament to formulate laws and policies for its citizens. "Hindraf can destroy this process by taking the law into its own hands," Jayasooria said, adding that the country had no room for extremists. Jayasooria was commenting on a report yesterday which quoted Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan as saying that the police were investigating Hindraf for allegedly stoking hatred against the government and inciting racial unrest.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Putera MIC national co-ordinator P. Kamalanathan echoed Jayasooria's sentiments that Hindraf's motives were unfounded. "Its leaders have disgraced Indians and the country. They have been ungrateful to our forefathers who worked hard to develop peace and unity in the nation." On Hindraf's claim that Malaysia may go the way of Sri Lanka, he said although there was dissatisfaction among Indians here, there were specific avenues to voice grievances to the government. Kamalanathan believed that Hindraf had not exhausted the avenues to negotiate with the government.<\/p>\n

Malaysian Hindu Youth Council president K. Rasaselvan said Hindraf's actions smacked of desperation as it was using racial and religious issues to gain support. "This has hurt the relationship between Indians and the government. "Unrest can never solve anything. This is all that Hindraf has managed to achieve." <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
