Sub: Discrimination of people of Indian Origin in

Malaysia and release of Advocate Uday Kumar and other Human Rights Activists .


Your Highness,


The Citizens and the Human Rights Organizations of India are deeply concerned about the violations of the Human Rights of the religious and linguistics minorities in Malaysia. We are more concerned about the discrimination being faced by the people of India Origin in Malaysia. The people of India are disturbed that the Hindu Temples are being systematically demolished and unreasonable restrictions are being imposed on religious minorities in Malaysia.

We are concerned that serious allegations of provoking rebellions have been leveled against the peaceful demonstrators and the leaders of a democratic/Human Rights movement and Advocate Uday Kumar & other leaders of HINDRAF have been arrested by the Government of Malaysia.

We demand that the Government of Malaysia should immediately stop the demolitions of temples in Malaysia and re-locate the temples already demolished. We also demand the unconditional release of Advocate Uday Kumar and other Human Rights Activists detained by the Government of Malaysia on the charges of incitement to rebellions.

We also demand that people of Indian Origin be given equal rights and opportunities along with proportionate representation in Government jobs and educational institutions.

We hope that the Hon’ble Prime Minister of Malaysia, would be kind enough to look into the grievances of the people of Indian Origin in Malaysia and would find out a solution to their satisfaction.


For FEDERATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS OF INDIA


RAJESH GOGNA
