Anwar , Hindraf and LTTE ?

Anwar Explains Why He Is In India

NEW DELHI, Dec 7 (Bernama) -- Former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he had been invited to attend some conferences on democracy in India and that he had only raised genuine grievances faced by minority groups in Malaysia during his current lectures.
"These conferences were planned five months ago, I gave my commitment and I attended," he told Bernama when asked what made him come to India at this time.
"The lectures were about the state of democracy and I gave my honest answers."
When asked about demands from certain ethnic Indians in Malaysia, he claimed that the Malaysian government's response had been unwise.
Anwar arrived in New Delhi yesterday to present a special lecture entitled "India and Worldwide Movement for Democracy: What India Can Learn From Others and What It Has To Give".
Last Saturday he attended the Islamic Peace Conference in Mumbai.
Earlier, Hindraf leader P.Wayatha Moorthy met Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani here but failed to meet Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The Malaysian lawyer also delivered a lecture on human rights at a law symposium.

Thorough Probe On Alleged Hindraf Terror Links, Says A-G

SHAH ALAM, Dec 7 (Bernama) -- Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail said today a thorough investigation would have to be conducted before any legal action could be taken against the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) which is suspected to have the support and help of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) of Sri Lanka.
He said the Attorney-General's Chambers would have to gather all the facts and complete information before taking any action because the alleged involvement of the LTTE was most serious.

"I don't think we would file any charge against them (Hindraf) anytime soon because we have to get the facts, get everything there and decide according to the facts. We don't simply go and charge them.
"This is not a game, it is a very serious matter and I definitely take this very seriously. I really believe that an investigation has got to be done. It has to be done and it is definitely a concern," he told reporters when approached outside the High Court here.
Abdul Gani was commenting on a statement by Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan today that there was evidence of Hindraf having strived to garner the support and help of the terrorist group in Sri Lanka.
Abdul Gani said the LTTE had been declared a terrorist organisation by countries such as the United States, Britain, Australia, India and several nations in Europe.
He also said that a United Nations (UN) resolution signed by Malaysia also emphasised that all member countries of the UN were not permitted to support or have any link with terrorist groups.
Abdul Gani said his linking Hindraf to the LTTE in his argument at the Sessions Court here on Wednesday was based on a police report.

"Somebody lodged a police report that there is ground that these people have been going out to (establish) contact with this LTTE.
"I mentioned in court that there is a police report and that is our concern. If there is none, I wouldn't be worried. Shouldn't I be worried? I think everybody in this world is worried if there is any connection with terrorist groups," he said.
Abdul Gani had raised the matter in court when asking the court not to grant bail to 31 people suspected to be Hindraf supporters who had taken part in an illegal assembly, with one of the grounds being that they were probably linked to the LTTE.
The court did not record Abdul Gani's statement after strong opposition from the defence lawyers.
