The President of the Malaysian Indian United Party, an insignificant and extremely small party with unknown membership strength, Nallakaruppan was reported to have stated as published in the Tamil Nesan on 14th September 2009 that Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim is seemingly misleading and hoodwinking the Malaysian Indians into thinking that he his helping the Indian Community. He has also mentioned that Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim is playing a 'Ghandhi' role to win the support, and he goes on to say Dato' Seri Anwar is not even worth the dust of Ghandhi’s feet.
As the former Vice President of MIUP, I, Mr. PO. Krishnasamy, who after fully realizing the self-centered nature of Nallakaruppan, who mislead many Keadilan leaders after he was not given a chance to contest in the Ijok by-election in 2007 decided to desert him and his party. Frustrated and greedy for power and position, Nalla became a tool of the ruling Barisan National led by UMNO.
I decided to join MIUP based on what Nalla told me while I was holding the position of Klang Keadilan Division Chief and Deputy Selangor Keadilan Chief for eight years. This was also what he told to Mr. Maniselvam who was the former Wilayah Deputy Keadilan Chief. At that time Nalla told me that Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim will become the Deputy Prime Minister in the BN Coalition and he wanted an approved Indian political party to represent the Indians, since MIC was rejected by most of Indians. I believed his lies and joined MIUP thinking that this party will back Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim whom I have great faith and respect as a righteous national leader. Later I found out that this was a well planned scheme and plot to attract me into MIUP and further break the unity of the Indians.
My experience with self proclaimed leader Nallakaruppan showed that he had no principles or ideals whatsoever as a leader, of no caliber and the required knowledge and experience to lead the Malaysian Indians. He did not even provide the MIUP Constitution during the launch of the party and until today he has not done so. We believe he might have made himself the President-for-life of the Party.
I, through this press statement would like to challenge Nallakaruppan to a debate on the baseless and unverified issues raised against Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, and also on what the MIUP has done so far for the Indians, their short and long term agenda, and programmes for the development of the Malaysian Indians. So far what we have seen him as being a stooge of BN to personally attack Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim. We challenge Nallakaruppan to release whatever information on cassettes he has on Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim immediately and not wait for the legal proceedings.
We know for sure that Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim is the only leader who can bring all the races together including the Malaysian Indians into one united Malaysian civil society. Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim is a leader par excellence and respected by the world community for his great struggle against injustice and oppression of people by irresponsible leaders. For the average Malaysian, Dato' Seri Anwar is the hope and future for a just and united Malaysia. Him, and only him can win the respect of all the races, and bring Malaysia into the forefront of multiethnic democracy and unity. For Malaysians, especially of Indian origin, Dato' Seri Anwar is our hero, who will bring justice and fairness to all Malaysians irrespective of race and creed. This is the type of leader we want, not traitors like Nallakaruppan who betrayed him despite his support by bringing him back into politics. Nalla claims that Dato' Seri Najib is helping the Indians. If he is helping, we want to ask Nalla, what happened to the promises made during garnering membership and the 12th General Election, that land will be acquired to build a Tamil Secondary School?
All these goes to prove that Nalla is nothing but a BN pawn for his selfish motives. Where was Nalla when the cowhead issue was humiliating the Indians?
We urge Nalla to come to his senses and to not insult the intelligence of Indians by stating that he can help the Indians to a better life. We want his mosquito party, which has not even organized its Annual General Meeting last year, and without proper division leaders, to stop giving false information and misleading the Indians. MIUP is only a publicity stunt and a propaganda party for BN. MIUP will never help the Indians because it has no support whatsoever from Malaysian Indians.
The Indians must support Pakatan Rakyat under the dynamic leadership of Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim if they want their rights to be recognized and their status improved, instead of being marginalized like what BN has done in the past fifty two years.
