Hindraf says that by condoning this act, the Pakatan state government does not practise what it preaches.
PETALING JAYA: Hindraf has blamed Pakatan Rakyat and PAS for tearing down its banners tagged “Send 1st Hindraf MP to Parliament Kota Raja and Sri Andalas – P Uthayakumar”.
Hindraf Youth Chief S Thiagarajan in a statement today said they have received numerous angry telephone calls from supporters in Kota Raja, Sri Andalas and Sri Muda.
“All the telephone calls were about PAS supporters tearing down Hindraf banners at the Sri Muda roundabout and about another 15 such banners being taken down,” he said.
“We experienced a similar predicament during the Hindraf February and the 22/4/12 Hindraf rally held at Chetty Padang in Klang,” he added.
Thiagarajan claimed that their de-facto leader P Uthayakumar’s formal letters to the Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim and to the Klang Municipal Council have been ignored.
“We don’t see any Pakatan or Barisan Nasional banners similarly removed. So much for the Pakatan state government’s Freedom of Information Act 2012,” he said.
He also said that it’s even more disappointing when Pakatan’s top leadership such as the Selangor State Commissioner Abdul Rani Othman and Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad condone such an act.
“FMT had carried a news yesterday where PAS/Pakatan top leadership has knowledge of these activities, yet showed support for it instead of stopping them,” he said.
“We hereby call upon PAS and Pakatan to stop using their Indian mandors against Hindraf as Umno-BN had been using MIC mandors to cheat the Indian poor.
“We also call upon PAS, Pakatan supporters, the Selangor state government and the Municipal Council of Klang and the Shah Alam City Council not to take down our banners ,” he added.
Thiagarajan claimed that Hincraf is the obvious underdogs forced to battle both Pakatan and BN giants to represent the most vulnerable minority in Malaysia.
“Please do not hurt us any further. In a healthy democracy, let the best man win,” he said.
“On our part, we undertake not to destroy PAS and Pakatan banners. We also wish the Pakatan candidates all the best in the Kota Raja and Sri Andalas constituencies,” he added.
