Hindraf

Hindraf, a coalition of 30 Hindu non-governmental organisations in Malaysia, has asked India to include the issue of human rights violations affecting the Indian diaspora in the agenda of next year's annual Pravasi Bharatiya Divas.

The ethnic Indian activist launched a new multi-racial political party to champion the rights of marginalised sections.

Several key members of the Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF) have set up Makkal Sakthi Party.

The group wanted to have the dialogue to discuss ways and means to tackle problems confronting the Indian community.

Malaysian government has imposed strict restrictions on the movement of the two ethnic Indian activists of Hindu rights group Hindraf, released after a year of detention under the country's tough internal security law.

The Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) on Saturday appealed for freedom of the remaining three Hindraf activists detained under a controversial security law, a day after newly elected PM Najib Razak released two members of the ethnic Indian group along with 12 other detainees.

They were guilty of participating in an illegal rally.
