From Hindraf to Seafield, Waytha reaps what he sows, says MIC chief

MIC president S Vigneswaran (above) has linked the Seafield temple riot to the Hindraf rally eleven years ago as both incidents happened almost to the day  – Nov 25 - and involved Minister in the Prime Minister's Department P Waythamoorthy.

"We reap what we sow. This is what we are now facing on the anniversary of Hindraf (rally), which took place on Nov 25, 2007, while the (recent) incident happened on Nov 26, 2018," he said.

"What goes around comes around. This is a very good lesson," he told a press conference in Parliament.

Waythamoorthy was the Hindraf chief when the rally which mobilised some 300,000 took to the streets in Kuala Lumpur back in 2007.

The demolition of several Hindu temples was among the factors that prompted the peaceful demonstration.

Waythamoorthy, a human rights activist-turned-politician, was appointed as minister in-charge of national unity this year.

"This is not a slap to the Pakatan Harapan government, but (it is a slap) to the unity minister," said Vigneswaran.

He said MIC did not want the Harapan government to face what the previous administration faced when the Hindraf rally was called.
