Samy Vellu was put in a spot when questioned in India over the Reuters reports about the Ban on Indian and Bangladeshi workers. He had to phone back to seek clarifications and denied it. How could Reuters an experience wired agency churn our reports that are "false" or wrongly quoted. There must be a U-turn over the decision. Samy Vellu had a hard time convincing reporters there as he said there were "no hard evidence" connecting the Hindraf leaders with the Tamil terrorists in Sri Lanka and action was based on "suspicions"
Regrettably the ISA was applied against the Hindraf 5 based on belief & suspicion and & not the truth. As a matter of fact Mr Uthayakumar was laughing at the allegations and he had declared: 'We have got zero links with terrorism. We have got zero links with LTTE. We do not support violence. We are a non violent group" As a matter of fact he had made a symbolic police report ( 9 Dec 07) against the PM, the IGP and AG and as expected "no action" was taken.
NEW DELHI (Jan 8, 2008): MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu was today grilled for about 30 minutes by the Indian media over recent reports alleging the marginalisation of Malaysian Indians, but the veteran politician kept his cool. He was bombarded with questions on the allegations made by the Hindu RIghts Action Force (Hindraf), which organised the Nov 25 rally in Kuala Lumpur, the validity of such allegations and how the government was handling the matter.
Other questions were on temple demolition and the Nov 25 demonstration which led to a number of arrests, including several under the Internal Security Act. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Pravasi Bhartiya Divas 2008, a conference and meeting involving the Indian diaspora across the globe, Samy Vellu took pains to entertain the questions and to explain the actual situation in the country, as well as what the party and the government were doing to address these problems. He explained that the Indian community in Malaysia has come a long way since the country achieved independence and the allegations of Hindraf, which is an illegal organisation, are not true. Throughout the interview session, he never lost his cool. Samy Vellu, who is leading a delegation of 75 members including 15 members of the media, said the government had created many opportunities for Malaysian Indians over the years.

"The government is seriously looking into it. The claim that they are being marginalised is being looked into," he said. Samy Vellu said he had submitted a working paper to the Cabinet on this matter, especially covering employment and education. "We have submitted several working papers. We don't go to the street to demonstrate," he said. He also said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had assured the community that their grievances would be entertained. He also denied that the country faced unrest over the alleged marginalisation of the Indian community. "A simple demonstration of 10,000 people does not mean unrest. Unrest means the whole community gets together and causes problems." The MIC is also distributing copies of a booklet titled "Malaysian Indians -- Then & Now" outlining the history and development of the community in the last 140 years to the 1,500 delegates of the conference as well as the Indian media. The 20-page booklet also contains the Indian community's representation in the government and civil service, education, Tamil schools, tertiary education skills and industrial training, religion, economy as well the percentage of Malaysian Indians among registered professionals and the country's work force.
