Ethnic Indians in Malaysia plan to continue their protests against alleged racial discrimination in that country. CNN-IBN spoke to Y K Murthy, the chairman of Hindu Rights Group in Malaysia. He said his group had submitted a charter of 18 demands to the government.
CNN-IBN: Sir what is it that you plan to do immediately?
Y K Murthy We are now planning to go on an international lobby to lobby for the international committee for the cause and the plight of the minority Indians facing humiliation.
CNN-IBN: Sir don’t you think that it would be wiser to wait for them as the Malaysian government is now forming a committee to look into this?
Y K Murthy The Committee is just to pacify the people temporarily. They have always done this but we will not be duped into this. We will continue with our struggle.
CNN-IBN: Do you also intend to get into the political scene? Do you think that could make a difference?
Y K Murthy No, we have always maintained that our organisation is a non-political organisation. We will maintain our cause along those lines. We do not have political intentions.
CNN-IBN: What is it that you expect out of the whole thing? What is that you hope to do and achieve?
Y K Murthy We hope that the government will listen to the 18 demands that we have submitted to the government on July 27 and that they come out with a complete solution that we have for from them.
