Waythamoorthy - From Hero To Zero

Hindraf Chief Calls It Quits, Says Illegal Group Fighting Lost Cause

PUTRAJAYA, Jan 3 (Bernama) -- The self-exiled leader of the Hindu Rights Action Front (Hindraf), P. Waytha Moorthy, has conceded that the cause of the unregistered organisation is as good as lost.
In a sharp and surprise twist of events, Waytha Moorthy, who is chairman of Hindraf, said in an interview published in today's Deccan Chronicle, the highest-selling English language newspaper in Hyderabad in the southern Indian state of Andra Pradesh, that the movement had to close its chapter.
"There may be a new chapter, but we may not be part of the next chapter. I know eventually we would fail," he was quoted as saying in today's edition of the newspaper.
Hindraf created a furore in Malaysia after it held a rally in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 25 and made several claims which have since been described as preposterous by most people and denied by the authorities.
It also submitted a memorandum to the British High Commission here.
Five of those involved in organising the rally have since been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) after they were found to have touched on religious sensitivities.
Waytha Moorthy left the country for India soon after the rally and subsequently turned up in the United Kingdom to drum up international support.
The Deccan Chronicle article revealed that Waytha Moorthy was now living in the London suburb of Hounslow, where he is reportedly staying with friends.
Conceding that Hindraf was fighting a "losing battle", Waytha Moorthy said the struggle of the organisation was likely to die soon.
"We are fighting a losing battle, we know. We tried our level best but if we don't succeed we have to call it a day, isn't it ?" he told the newspaper.
