Is Kulasegaran upping the ante as a proxy for Pakatan?



I write this note in response to the article by M Kulasegaran titled, ‘Hindraf is no longer the force they were’.  

From the slant of the article it looks like Kulasegaran is upping the ante as a proxy for Pakatan. We do not believe that statements such as this can come from someone high up in the hierarchy without sanction from the party leaders. 

If this is the case, then Hindraf challenges the Pakatan leadership to come clear and  say that they do not need the support of Hindraf in the forthcoming elections. If what we are saying holds no basis, then we want the Pakatan leadership - Anwar Ibrahim, Abdul Hadi Awang and Lim Kit Siang - to come forward and refute what Kula has just said. 

In the absence of any statement to this effect, we will proceed with our conclusion that Pakatan is issuing this statement through Kula as a proxy. 

There are quarters among our people who speculate that Kula could be putting out such statements to prevent the Pakatan-Hindraf relationship from developing so that he can preserve his position in Pakatan. 

He has not done one constructive thing in the interest of the relationship - not getting involved in the discussion on the Hindraf blueprint or coming up with alternative plans to supplement or complement Hindraf’s blueprint or anything that would really help develop the relationship. Yet he so readily and abundantly criticises Hindraf and runs Hindraf down tirelessly. So, what is his real agenda, they ask?

We have made it clear from all our meetings with the joint Pakatan leadership, and separately, that we would back up Pakatan by mobilising  our election volunteers to campaign nationwide provided Pakatan endorses the Hindraf blueprint. This requires effort on everyone’s part.

The issue of seat allocation to Hindraf was never discussed in any detail as Hindraf had insisted that the blueprint be endorsed first before we moved to the final seat allocation discussion as this was our order of priority. Kula was nowhere in any of these meetings to appreciate this. 

Has Pakatan now sanctioned Kula to be their mouthpiece on their relationship with Hindraf?  

Whatever the case may be, we want the Pakatan leadership to come out in the open about their stand vis-a-vis Hindraf.
