Hindraf has told MIC Youth chief T Mohan and Hindraf de facto leader P Uthayakumar to “shut up” and cease their criticism of the appointment of P Waythamoorthy as a deputy minister by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
“Continuing to harp on this moot point only will make their individual incompetence and the incompetence of their respective organisations more visible and more pronounced,” Hindraf adviser N Ganesan (left) said in a scathing response to statements made by the two since Waythamoorthy's appoinment was announced two days ago.

“So, Mohan and Uthayakumar should shut up, just keep their peace and mull over the implications of this message to them in more productive ways.
“Reading between the lines (of Waythamoorthy’s appointment), the conclusion that one comes is this - there obviously are no other equally capable individuals or organisations to deliver the transformation needed for the Indian community.”

Ganesan said time would prove the wisdom of Najib’s choice.
Mohan and Uthayakumar were among those who are not taking Waythamoorthy’s surprise entrance into the cabinet kindly.

Uthayakumar (right), who is Waythamoorthy's elder brother, referred to Waythamoorthy as the “latest Indian mandore(head coolie)” and the “new Samy Vellu”.
The MIC Youth and BN-friendly Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress (Kimma) have also expressed dissatisfaction with Najib for picking Hindraf over those who have long been loyal to the ruling coalition.
This is especially so since, they pointed out, Waythamoorthy had sullied the country’s image through its infamous 2007 rally, and then went into exile, while Uthayakumar was incarcerated under the now-repealed Internal Security Act (ISA).
However, Waythamoothy returned on Aug 1 last year and actively led a faction within Hindraf, which last month signed amemorandum of understanding with BN for "uplifting of the Indian Malaysian community".
In exchange, Waythamoorthy’s Hindraf pledged its support for BN and to return its two-thirds majority in Parliament.
