The two movements have decided to join hands in a bid to end the rule of Umno and Barisan Nasional.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) will join hands with the Anything But Umno (ABU) movement in a bid to end Umno’s rule.
Speaking to reporters today, Hindraf national coordinator W Sambulingam said the government must be changed.
“Umno or Barisan Nasional which has been the governing party for the last 54 years has left the nation in a deplorable condition. We have to vote BN out,” he added.
Sambulingam said Hindraf and ABU would initially hold nationwide ceramah against Umno.
During the first phase, he said, 11 ceramah will be held in Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor, Negri Sembilan and Johor.
“Our first ceramah will take place in Jalan Kebun in Klang on Jan 21,” he added.
Promiment lawyer and ABU coordinator Haris Ibrahim, who was also present at the press conference, welcomed Hindraf’s decision to join ABU.
He also invited other like-minded NGOs and individuals to join in the fight.
“We are pro-rakyat. So whoever feels that they are pro-rakyat can unite with us,” he said.
ABU was formed last year, and the movement focused on four major issues – the Lynas plant, price
hikes, racist politics and unjust laws.
