HINDU Rights Action Force leader P. Waythamoorthy criticised Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for his statement that the organisation is made up of Tamil racists, Makkal Osai reported.

Waythamoorthy said in a statement that the remark made Dr Mahathir sound like a broken record.

He said Dr Mahathir was only diverting attention from his wrongdoing that were being uncovered now.

He said Hindraf represented oppressed Malaysians of Indian origin who were systematically marginalised over the years.

The organisation, he added, also stressed on the struggle for equality and fairness beyond race, religion, creed and skin colour. -The Star
