PETALING JAYA: R Kenghadaran, one of five Hindraf leaders detained under the ISA, has confirmed his attendance at gathering of Indian Malaysians at Dewan Hamzah on July 4.
Former MIC central working committee member KP Samy, the organiser of the event, said the elusive leader has kept a low profile after being released from prison.
“Kenghadaran agreed to brainstorm with us at the gathering in the interest of the Indian community who he said are a disunited and disgruntled lot,” said Samy.
Kenghadaran was one of the key leaders detained under the Internal Security Act in the aftermath of Hindraf's huge Nov 25 demonstration in 2007.
He was released from prison in April 2009 and had remained elusive. Samy added that being a professional, Kenghadaran is highly regarded by Indian Malaysians.
“He is also one prominent figure who has not affiliated himself with any NGO or political bodies to date,” added Samy.
Another one of the famous Hindraf 5 leader who had already confirmed his attendance is V Ganabatirau. After his release from prison, he continued serving under the DAP platform.
The upcoming Indian unity gathering is expected to start at 2pm in Klang with the theme: 'Dawn for the Indian Community'.
