New Delhi: A day after Malaysia charged the protesting ethnic Indians with links to terror groups, the Malaysian Prime Minister's Office has specifically said that the RSS and the LTTE had links with the organisers of the protests.
On Friday, Minister for Works Samy Vellu alleged that some Indian groups were behind the protests by ethnic Indians in the country, a protest that was led by Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf).
Immediately after the Malaysian government said that the protesters had links with terror groups, New Delhi had distanced itself from the issue.
Daring the Malaysian government to produce evidence of Hindraf alleged links with LTTE or other terror groups, an ethnic Indian lawyer from the outfit on Saturday filed a police complaint against the country's premier and other senior officials who have threatened to put its members behind bars under a draconian law.
"I have never met anyone from LTTE in my life. They have gone overboard when they say we have links with terrorism. They are trying to divert the issue," said P Uttayakumar, the founder member of Hindraf, reported PTI.
“We have got zero links with terrorism. We do not support violence. We are a non violent group," PTI reported him as saying.
The government has stepped up its crackdown on Hindraf after a rally was held on November 25 by over 20,000 ethnic Indians protesting what they called discriminatory laws in Malaysia.
The license of Syarikat Hindraf Enterprise had been revoked as its activities "threatened national security", said Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Shafie Apdal said.
