Samy Vellu to lobby against Hindraf in India
Tajikistan News.Net
Monday 31st December, 2007 (IANS)
Malaysian minister of Indian origin Samy Vellu is expected to lobby against the Hindu Action Rights Force (Hindraf), a group that claims to represent ethnic Indians in Malaysia, during his ongoing visit to India.
Vellu, who is the Malaysian works minister, is expected to meet Prime Minister Mannmohan Singh and others on the sidelines of the fifth Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas, the annual gathering of the Indian diaspora, beginning in New Delhi on Jan 7.
Hindraf has courted controversy since it organised a protest rally on Nov 25 to highlight the grievances of ethnic Indians - mostly Tamils - in Malaysia. The meeting was declared illegal and dispersed.
Thirty-one people are being prosecuted for having participated in the rally while five of the organisers are in jail for two years under the stringent Internal Security Act (ISA).
'I hope to meet the Indian prime minister on the sidelines of the Pravasi conference and meet the Tamil Nadu chief minister within the next few days,' he said.
Vellu said it was not true that Indians in Malaysia were deprived of many things and that many Hindu temples had been demolished arbitrarily, The Sun newspaper reported Monday.
'Some of the temples were demolished because of court orders as they were built illegally,' he said, adding that many of the temples were relocated to alternative sites.
Vellu, who arrived in Chennai Saturday, expressed hope that his explanation to the Indian government would clear up any misunderstanding over the issue.
He said relations between Malaysia and India are strong 'and nothing will affect this cordial relationship'.
India and Malaysia had last month exchanged notes formally and informally over the developments. Malaysia has resented Indian expression of 'concern', as also criticism from the US government, terming them 'interference'.
Vellu heads the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), the largest political party of ethnic Indians, predominantly Tamil Hindus, who form eight percent of Malaysia's 27 million population.
Vellu and MIC have been highly critical of the Hindraf's role. They say it is divisive and serves the ethnic Indian's interest ill. They have also dismissed Hindraf's claims of grievances as exaggerated.
He said he would 'explain the real situation concerning the Indian community in Malaysia', The Sun daily reported Monday.
Hindraf leader M. Waythamoorthy had, in recent weeks, met leaders of the Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam (DMK) that rules in Tamil Nadu, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders L.K. Advani and Jaswant Singh.
However, the Indian government did not meet Waythamoorthy and External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee had dismissed any notion of support to Hindraf saying that it was 'Malaysia's internal matter'.
Vellu will also deliver a working paper on infrastructure, opportunities and investment at the three-day meeting in New Delhi.  Email this story to a friend

Samy Vellu to lobby against Hindraf in India
Hmmmmm? I wonder what Vellu is getting paid for this bull????? Protest only serves the people ill when the opposition uses brutality and graft to supress the minorities of Malaysia. Let them speak freely and your internal matters (problems) will decrease.

Samy, you did not show yourself as a leader
Samy, don’t fool yourself,you did not lead as a leader otherwise Hindraf will not have proceeded with their action. 10,000 Indian could not proved their actions wrong. You have to resign immediately because you have sold the Indians whom have trusted you. Going to India to beg for another trust or to show your position? You are the only Indian in Malaysia who is too rich! You ignored the other Indian future.

Sex scandal of Shaila Nair-velpari
Hello,If you want to speak about, Sex scandals of Shaila Nair and Indrani Sami velu ,You are not a real Tamilian.Most of the Srilankan Tamil wome living abroad commit dirty adultery particularly in Norway.In bible says women were “bad sinners”(expl:“EVE”) so the word “evil” comes.God is obsolute and masculine,nothing,zero,nirvana.Women is energy(sakthi),worlderly.“sin”(“paavam"in Tamil-“karma” in sanskrit).Bible says the “Truth”,the “nirvana” or “Amen”.But according to “sithambara ragasiyam” in Tamil,The only balancing force could stay near the obsolute “nothingness”(Siva),is the supreme form of evil energy(SIVAGAMI).So “Deva dasis”(not prostitute) were only allowed to save the god and even old Tamil kings fell in their feet after their performence called “Baratha Natyam”-the Universal dance.Tamils “RESPECT” women even they commit worst adultery-“To keep the worlderly balance”,like “Hunger & Bevelovence”.
