Hindraf lodges complaint against PM over LTTE remarks

The Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf), a Malaysian rights outfit, has lodged a police complaint against Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi after allegations linking the group with Sri Lanka's Liberation Tigers for Tamil Eeelam (LTTE).

Hindraf's senior leader and legal advisor P Uthayakumar asserted that the outfit had 'zero links' with the LTTE or any other terrorist group.

'We do not support violence. We are a non-violent group,' Uthayakumar was quoted as saying in The Star newspaper Sunday.

Uthayakumar, who lodged the report at the Jalan Travers police station Saturday, also named Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail, minister in the prime minister's office Mohamed Nazri Aziz, and Inspector General of Police Musa Hassan in the complaint.

The Hindraf's response came amidst reports that the government could invoke the stringent International Security Act (ISA) against top Hindraf leaders who organized a protest rally on Nov 25 to voice their grievances, claming to speak for the two million-plus, predominantly Tamil Hindu population of immigrants from India.
