> Statement by BJP National President Shri Rajnath
> Singh
> on the Persecution of Indians in Malaysia
> The Bharatiya Janata Party has taken a serious note
> about yesterday's
> incidents in Malaysia. The Indians peacefully
> protesting against the
> injustice meted out to them by the Malaysian
> government, became victims
> of police atrocities in Kuala Lumpur. Some of the
> protestors were
> brutally beaten and hundreds of them were detained
> by the police.
> The BJP expresses its concern over the plight of
> Indians facing
> discrimination and marginalization in Malaysia,
> which has forced them to
> take to the streets. Ethnic Indians constitute about
> 7 percent of the
> population. Although Indians are the third largest
> ethnic group in
> Malaysia yet they are apparently living a life of
> poverty and
> deprivation in the country.
> When Malaysia became independent in 1957 there was a
> ray of hope for
> people of Indian origin that they would be able to
> gain some respect and
> dignity in the country. Their dreams appear to have
> been shattered.
> Trepidation and frustration is taking its toll on
> the Malaysian Indian,
> given the lack of job opportunities in the
> government or the private
> sector. Even their places of worship have not been
> spared by the
> Government. A policy of indiscriminate and unlawful
> demolition of Hindu
> temples has further hurt the religious sentiments of
> the Indian people.
> According to media reports three Hindu temples have
> been pulled down
> since February this year.
> The BJP seeks immediate diplomatic intervention from
> the UPA Government
> on this issue. The government should register its
> protest with the
> Malaysian envoy in New Delhi and also convey its
> displeasure on the
> developments in Malaysia. The BJP expresses its
> solidarity with the
> people of Indian origin in Malaysia and hopes that
> their struggle
> against the injustice and inequality would reach to
> a logical
> conclusion.
