PETALING JAYA: Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) chairman P. Waytha Moorthy clarified that they did not send any demands to the Pakatan Harapan Government, Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) or the Institutional Reform Committee.

In a statement Tuesday (May 29), he referred to media reports that said an organisation calling itself "Hindraf 2.0" had submitted its list of demands, but said there is "no such organisation".

"Its so-called leader P. Uthayakumar is the leader of Human Rights Party. He was never part of any Hindraf activities since 2008 as he wanted to develop his own political party," said Waytha Moorthy, adding that Uthayakumar's actions had caused confusion, anger and hatred among the public.

Waytha Moorthy and Uthayakumar are brothers.

Waytha Moorthy added that Hindraf had extended an invitation to Uthayakumar to become a Hindraf member.

"Confusing the people with a name similar to Hindraf is not helping our long struggle to find permanent and comprehensive solutions to the peoples' problems," said Waytha Moorthy.

He added that Hindraf had been working for the past two years to swing support to Pakatan Harapan and had worked "closely" with Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to ensure victory.

"More than 300 roadshows and meetings were conducted over the last 18 months ... but Uthayakumar did not participate nor support any move to work with Tun Dr Mahathir nor Pakatan Harapan," said Waytha Moorthy.

He also urged his brother to stop being confrontational as the "war is over" and asked him to join those working hard to build a new Malaysia.

"It is time to rebuild the community in the new Malaysia

"Tun Mahathir has given his commitment to Hindraf to solve long-standing issues and we are already working with him and other Pakatan leaders.

"It does not make sense to take a confrontational approach towards the Pakatan government that Hindraf fully supports," he concluded.
