Hindraf to Anwar: Call off your mandores

Pakatan Rakyat de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim should act like a gentleman if he was serious and sincere on working with Hindraf Makkal Sakti and endorse its blueprint, said the movement’s Kedah chapter coordinator P Muniandy.
Pakatan has contacted Hindraf recently to recommence talks on the movement five-year blueprint meant to uplift the marginalised Indian community.
Muniandy said Anwar must choose between wanting to work with Hindraf for betterment of ethnic Indians under a win-win coalition pact or engage in cheap tactic by deploying mandores to criticise the human rights movement.
He said Hindraf’s talks with Barisan Nasional national chairman Najib Tun Razak for his endorsement on the blueprint had nothing to do with Anwar or his mandores.
He said Hindraf was not interested in Pakatan – BN political feud because it was not helping the marginalised Indian cause anyway.
He said Hindraf’s focus was to uplift the marginalised segment of working class Indians, who have been isolated and sidelined from mainstream development for over 200 years.
He said Hindraf never stopped talking with Pakatan and already had 21 meetings with the coalition.
“Only mandores are making noises as though they know everything.
“Have you seen any Pakatan top leaders making any statement against Hindraf?
“These mandores should stop from going berserk to condemn Hindraf.
“Anwar should gentlemanly stop them,” he told FMT here today, when commenting on cyber attacks by PKR’s S Jayathas.
Jayathas, who was formerly a paid staff in P Uthayakumar’s Human Rights Party (HRP) office, has claimed Hindraf supremo P Waythamoorthy had struck a deal with Umno.
Labelling Waythamoorthy as a “traitor”, Jayathas claimed the Hindraf supremo had hid the movement’s registration from public knowledge.
Jayathas pleasing political master
Muniandy said Jayathas’ remarks showed that he wanted to please his political master to grab a seat to contest in the forthcoming general election.
He recalled that Jayathas was a political hopeful who hopped from PKR to Hindraf then to HRP and now back to PKR within five years.
“Jayathas should shut his mouth up since he had left Hindraf to pursue his selfish interests,” said Muniandy.
