Organize Nationwide Forums on 22nd March 2008
Dear HINDRAF supporters,
22nd March marks 100 days of the draconian arrest and detention of our brothers under the Internal Security Act.
In conjunction of this I invite HINDRAF supporters to organize nationwide forums on the 22nd March and at least 100 yagams (fire rituals) throughout the country.
Please organise the forums in public halls and seek/apply police permits early. You could invite the newly elected MP’s/ State assemblymen/ ex ISA detainees/lawyers to talk on the cruelty of ISA detentions.
A representative of HINDRAF could speak on the continued struggle of HINDRAF and our commitments for the protection of Minority Rights. At the end of the Forums kindly release 5 pigeons to mark the quest for freedom of the 5.
I also urge you to organize 100 yagams (fire rituals) throughout the country to mark this day seeking Divine Blessings for our 5 heroes detained and for the success of our 18 demands. I suggest we all collectively organise the yagams for Lord Muruga and invoke his blessings for our struggle.
The yagams could be organized in Temples/homes ect and need not be large numbers of participants. There are simple methods of conducting these yagams and you need not engage priests or “qualified persons”. All men and women with sincere heart and thoughts are qualified to organise these rituals. You may obtain simple instructions on how to organise these yagams by contacting Mr. Shanmugam on +6 019 2285124.
If you are organising a yagam please inform details and venues of your yagam by way of email to admin@hindraf.org or contact HINDRAF event co-ordinator Mr. Kannan on +6012 2690024.
For all enquiries of the programs ie Forum and the yagams please do not hesitate to contact Mr Kannan on the above number.

It is a reasonable call to the supporters.But as we have seen the federal government is trying its best thriough its UMNOPUTRAS to create issues and destablise the state governments where they are not in power.Interestingly, they have not made any issue in kelantan or Selangor where the pas MBs have been installed.
However in Penang they jumped at the new CM ado nothing and trying to play the race card prematurley.In perak, they have tried to amke an issue against the DAP, again with no mature reason or cause.
I would call on individuals to not create an excuse for any one else to make an issue again where oppositions are in control- so as to offer the BN opportunity to create more problems for these new administrations.
Perhaps, the call to organise the HINDRAF candle vigils should be organised in Negri, Johore and Malacca where the state governments are BN.
Let us see how tolerant they are, and if they will again play what they did the last time.They need to to be exposed yet again to the world scrutiny.Organise in Putra jaya, as that is the federal government seat.
Give Penang, Perak, and Selangor time to consolidate theri administration.
Politics is a game of mind and skills…give it to them.let us see thenhow UMNO reacts and how BN reacts.
I think we need to use brains , not emotions- and play right into their hands.perhaps in 6 months time, the vigils can be started in the otehr states, and we may be able to comparse one is treated there and how the BN states treated.
