(see Malaysiakini 19/10/10).
On a day to day basis we attack UMNO 10 times harder than PKR, DAP and PAS
MIC is a dead horse and not worth flogging.
We leave it to the DAP, PKR and PAS Indian mandores who specialize and focus on MIC, but who would not dare touch their tuan and the real culprit UMNO. We go for the Master and not the messenger MIC mandore.
Why shoot the messenger for the master?
PKR, DAP and PAS Tuans, tuan hajis and towkays made full use of the 25th November Hindraf wave and won their MP and ADUN seats and power in four west coast states.
To the Towkays, Tuans and Tuan Hajis we gave the political directions and 90% of Indian voters voted for PKR, DAP and PAS. Thus our attack especially against PKR, DAP and PAS in the PR ruled states of Selangor, Penang, Kedah and Kelantan, and not in any other states.
Up to date these towkays, tuans and tuan hajis have refused to even talk to us, about let alone address the scores of pressing Indian issues that we highlight on a day to day basis in our website.
But after having made use of the Indian voters the Indians were dumped like sucked oranges.
Pray tell us of one serious Indian problem that any of the 78 PKR, DAP and PAS MPs including their 11 Indian MP mandores have ever raised in Parliament? Answer Zero!
100,000 poor Indians would not have gone to the streets on 25th November 2007 had PKR, DAP and PAS also spoken up for the poor Indians.
It is an open secret that DAP is a Chinese based party and PKR and PAS are Malay-Islamic parties. It is because of PKR, DAP and PAS’ ignoring Indian concerns that HRP today has to stand on their own feet. There is no other reason for HRP to exist.
DAP, PKR and PAS need not bother organizing functions because no Indians have faith in them. The only exception being, a la MIC, when a handful come to collect handouts, hampers, etc., stand for a propaganda photo shoot and listen to some wayang kulit talk.
HRP will rise to the occasion in the 2012/2013 General Elections.

DAP wants HRP to clarify its political stand
(Refer Malaysiakini 19/10/10)
The Human Rights Party Malaysia’s (HRP) must decide whether it supports Pakatan Rakyat or the BN, before negotiations for cooperation can be made for the coming general election says DAP.
DAP national labour bureau chief A Sivanesan (right) said that this was because the HRP president P Uthayakumar, since his release from ISA detention, had been attacking Pakatan and blaming it for every incident that has affected the Indian community.
"Why is he only targeting Pakatan political leaders especially DAP, and not Umno-BN or MIC? Is there a hidden political agenda for this biased stand?," asked th
e state party vice-chief.
"Has he forgotten that it was DAP that stood by him in his hour of need, like during his ISA arrest at Kamunting Detention Camp when DAP lawyers like Karpal Singh took on the legal battle to free him?," said the DAP Sungkai assemblyperson.
He also took the HRP leader to task for calling party supremo Lim Kit Siang a racist. Sivanesan said in May 14, 1992, Lim was suspended from Parliament for eight months for championing the rights of 66,000 MIC shareholders who had allegedly been hijacked by three MIC-owned companies.
He reminded HRP that Lim is a man for all political seasons and for all races.
"Now Uthayakumar chooses to field his members at Pakatan areas which are held by Indian politicians. Why not make the same political stand to contest in BN-held areas?," he asked.
"Why the hesitation of Uthayakumar to criticise Umno-BN which had kept the Indian community in the dark ages without giving them equal rights for the past 53 years?"
Stop harping
Sivanesan said that Uthayakumar must stop harping on the Nov 25, 2007 incident when members of the now-banned Hindraf had taken to the streets to demonstrate makkal sakthi (people’s power), an event that had drastically changed the political landscape of the nation.
Sivanesan explained that both DAP and PAS are long-established political opposition parties that had weathered the brutal political might of Umno-BN including tasting ISA detention, before Uthayakumar (left) came into the political arena as the new kid on the 
block.
He said that four out of the five Hindraf leaders who were detained under ISA are now backing Pakatan with Uthayakumar being the lone wolf against Pakatan.
He advised the HRP leader not to take a racist stand on Indian issues in a multi-racial country like Malaysia as now more people, especially the young voters, are advocating for a non-racial stance.
The Human Rights Party, as befits its name, should reflect all Malaysians irrespective of race or religion, and only then can they make any impact in the political arena, he said.
Sivanesan asked the HRP leader what had happened to the Parti Reformasi India Malaysia (Prim) that he formed when he walked out of PKR in 1999.
According to him, Prim was not a registered party just as HRP is now (HRP is awaiting recognition from the Registrar of Societies).
He claimed that HRP, with its racist stand, is fast losing support among the Indian community as seen in the lukewarm attendance of Indians at HRP functions.
As for the peace talks that HRP wants with Pakatan for the forthcoming general election, Sivanesan said, "Uthayakumar must come with clean hands, expecting nothing; put his views across but don’t demand; and seek cooperation for the mutual benefit of all Malaysians."
