HINDRAF….. you guys must be either ignorant or just plain stupid. Sad given that many educated professionals are among you.
By the very fact that any acts (gathering or appeals) are made or done under the name of HINDRAF, then forget about freedom for the detainees. Your acts are just prolonging their stay.
Having said that, the real situation that you, HINDRAF, has created is simply to set a dangerous precedent that no government will be able to accept. What if the chinese start a CHINDRAF and the Malays start another ….. then what happens to racial harmony - especially when the strategy is illegal gatherings and riots. You guys are much more a nuisance than anything else.
Please see things as they are and do not be pawns of the big players - the only real agenda of HINDRAF is a political one - to see MIC defeated in the elections. You have succeded on this agenda. Congratulations.
But realise 2 things:
1. You have been used by te real gainers i.e the politicians;
2. You have lost governmental support and now represented by opposition - see how much these politicians can do for the indians from the opposition’s bench - not much I expect;
You have been fooled, misled and manipulated.
Realise this and pray that by some strange event, some good come out of your actions.
