COMMENTARY
People who want to see change at the upcoming 13th general
election and the end of Barisan Nasional (BN) rule are angry with P.
Uthayakumar and his Hindu Rights Party (HRP) for declaring their
intention to stand in Selangor seats currently held by Pakatan Rakyat.
They see this as a betrayal. Standing in these seats as independents
(because HRP’s application for registration has been rejected by the
Registrar of Societies), HRP members will create three-cornered fights
that will bring advantage to BN. Why Uthayakumar and his party would do
this to help BN is shocking to many.
After all, this is the same BN that treated them like pariahs when
Hindraf, of which they were a part, held its mammoth rally in November
2007. Despite its being a peaceful demonstration, with numerous
participants carrying pictures of Mahatma Gandhi to emphasise that, the
BN-led government unleashed tear gas and water cannons on them. A total
of 136 demonstrators were arrested.
Jarumemas: Backfired!!!
