here is a twisted report of that program:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"It's not a Tamil issue. The Tamil Muslims are not participating in the agitation. It's the Tamil Hindus who are protesting and in fact the organisation which has organised the protest itself is called the Hindu Rights Action Force," Swamy said.
"The Hindus are suffering because of the unrectified effects of British imperialism. They were brought there by the Britishers as plantation workers. Also the Malaysian constitution is becoming increasingly Islamic and therefore Hindus are being targeted in that country. Hindus are targeted all over the world wherever Islamic society exists. I think it is not an ethnic Indians versus the Malaysian government problem as it is a Hindus versus Muslims problem. The Hindus there are not a votebank and they don't have a country," he added.
He said that the Government of India was full of double standards. "When it was the question of the Danish cartoonist who caricatured Prophet Mohammad, they wrote a letter to the country in question and cancelled its foreign minister's visit to India. They also made a huge hue and cry over the Haneef case in Australia. And now, here is a country where Hindus do not have a voice and this is where the Government needs to intervene."
Subramaniam Swamy however, said that it was unfortunate though that Karunanidhi had raised the topic and created an issue out of it, because the Chief Minister himself was not an ethnic Tamil and was instead, the son of Telugu immigrants.
