!!Uthaya warded after hunger strike!!

Thursday, January 24, 2008

Hindraf legal advisor P Uthayakumar has been warded at the Taiping general hospital today, apparently for dehydration due to his ongoing hunger strike at the Kamunting detention centre.

His fiancee S Indra Devi told Malaysiakini that she was informed by detention centre officials that Uthayakumar was warded at about 1pm today.

“They said he has been put on a drip. I don’t know much more, I’m on my way to Kamunting now,” said Indra Devi.

In view of the latest developments, Indra Devi had an emotional appeal to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

“I would like to appeal to the prime minister to release Uthayakumar. He is diabetic and needs proper medical care,” she said, in between sobs.

Nationwide hunger strike

Uthayakumar and four other Hindraf leaders have been on hunger strike since Monday, cooinciding with ongoing Thaipusam festivities.

They are protesting their detention without trial under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for allegedly threatening national security. The four others are M Manoharan, R Kenghadharan, V Ganabatirau and T Vasantha Kumar.

At Gunung Cheroh in Ipoh, at least 112 people have taken part in a similar hunger strike at the Sri Subramaniam Temple to call for the abolishment of the ISA.

Spokesperson for the hunger strikers, S Sivakumar said they carried out their strike in 12-hour shifts since Monday.

Yesterday, 108 started a similar hunger strike at the Sri Subramaniam temple at Port Klang, Selangor. There are also unconfirmed reports of small groups holding similar hunger strikes in various Hindu temples across the country.

Most strikes are scheduled to end between tomorrow and Monday.

Klang,Tue:22/1/2008: This is an exclusive coverage by one of MIBCLUB's admins. It may not be similar to the news you get from our national news stations but hereby we guarantee you that all these news are 100% true. A total of more than 30 odd members of citizens have taken part in a hunger strike organized in conjunction with Thaipusam for the release of all the 5 HINDRAF heroes who have been charged under ISA. This event is ongoing at the PORT KLANG SRI SUBRAMANIYAR TEMPLE. This is definitely something which has never occurred in Malaysian history! When interviewed, we were informed that some of the participants come from places like Subang, Shah Alam and even from as far as Johor! The own family members of Mr. Ganapati Rao who


is now detained under ISA joined this hunger strike. Spirited shouts of "Makkal Sakti" could be heard all over the temple. According to one of the organizer, Mr. Mohana Sunder, they have been selling special car stickers which has the wordings "Makkal Sakti" clearly written for a price of RM3. All the proceedings will be donated to HINDRAF fund. The stickers have been selling like hot cakes and a total of more than 1000 stickers was sold in a matter of a few minutes. This definitely shows the amount of support HINDRAF actually has and how unsatisfied Malaysian Indians are. He further added that the whole event was planned in a time period of just a few days and it is going on successfully full filing the mission of Indians boycotting Batu Caves for Thaipusam. Free food were also arranged for the devotees coming to the Port Klang Temple. We have also received informations from reliable sources that the number of people attending to Batu Caves have been reducing slowly but significantly! This is clearly a success for HINDRAF.

We at MIBCLUB are truly honored to be given a chance to interview one of the 5 heroes, Mr. Ganapati Rao's younger brother Mr. Raidu who happens to be participating in the hunger strike for our heroes. We are more then delighted to be the first public website to publish this interview specially for our beloved Fans/Readers.Tq.

A Hindraf Valentine: 'Mr PM, take my roses'

Click the image on your right to view full sized image.

Dressed in a frilly dark-red dress and wearing pom-poms in her hair, five-year-old Vwaishhnnavi was all decked out to deliver a letter to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. What she wanted was a 'date' for Valentine's Day.

Her letter, submitted through the premier's aide at his office in Putrajaya this morning, invited him to accept roses from her and hundreds of other children on Feb 16 (Valentine’s Day is observed on Feb 14, traditionally with gifts like flowers).

But this was no ordinary child and not your typical expression of love from yet another star-struck admirer of the prime minister.

Vwaishhnnavi is the only child of Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) chairperson and lawyer P Waythamoorthy, who is currently in self-imposed exile in London.

Her uncle, Uthayakumar, the movement’s legal adviser, has been detained with four others for two years under the Internal Security Act.

The planned parade of flower-bearing children and their parents to Parliament House next month is to petition Abdullah for the release of the Hindraf leaders who were detained on his orders, on Dec 13 last year.

In a three-page handwritten letter, Vwaishhnnavi also asked that the gathering of supporters be protected from any untoward incident.

“I am doing this for the rights of Indians in our country and for my five uncles whom you have put them [sic] in prison,” reads the letter.

“Please protect me and others coming to Parliament from the brutal attack of police who may use tear gas and chemical (-laced) water. Mr PM, I am coming because I want to give you beautiful flowers... You must wait for me at Parliament to take my roses.”

Other than the flowers, the group hopes to hand over to Abdullah an 18-point memorandum on the needs of the Indian Malaysian community.

Most of the talking this morning was done by Hindraf national coordinator RS Thanendran and its spokesperson S Manickavasagam.

Vwaishhnnavi was quiet throughout. She knew, though, how to smile sweetly as photographers and television crew focused their lenses on her.

Hindraf’s influence ‘evident’

Asked what they had in mind if denied a police permit to assemble outside Parliament, Manickivasagam said the peaceful gathering would go on even if a permit is not issued. An application will be submitted tomorrow to the police.

“We are not bringing weapons or anything (like that). These are flowers that we are bringing to the prime minister,” said Manickavasagam, who is also a member of the PKR supreme council.

Echoing this, Thanendran said the premier should set an example to the children by allowing the peaceful gathering.

“We will apply for the permit, (so) grant us the permit. We will abide by all the laws and regulations. We’ll never break any laws. We’re only worried that they (the police) will set a bad example,” he said.

To a suggestion that the group would be using children to further its goals, he said the gathering on Feb 16 is to educate the younger generation and impress on them the need to struggle for their rights.

“We are taking them (along) with the consent of their parents. We are doing this for their future,” he said.

The first gathering by Hindraf on Nov 25 last year saw a gathering of about 30,000 Indians suppressed by riot police.

Despite the government’s reluctance to accord legitimacy to Hindraf, said Thanendran, it was evident that it has succeeded in forcing recognition that the Indian community has legitimate grievances.

He cited Abdullah’s announcement on Sunday declaring a public holiday for Thaipusam - a move sought by community leaders for at least 20 years.

Abdullah also announced the creation of a special cabinet committee to look into eradication of poverty, as well the establishment of a task force under the home ministry to look into the plight of an estimated 400,000 Indians who are without identification documents.

“After Hindraf’s (Nov 25 demonstration of) people power, (many things) came into (play),” said Thandendran.

He also described Hindraf as a “non-political” group that supports any party struggling for the rights of Indian Malaysians.

However, he said actions against Hindraf could well influence the voting choices of Indians in the upcoming general election.

“We are a NGO asking for basic human rights which (Indians) have been deprived (of) and (we have been) discriminated against for the past 50 years,” he added.

“If the five (Hindraf leaders) are still detained in Kamunting (camp in Perak) and (elections are called), it will affect (choices made by voters).”
