Seeks action to end “sufferings and bad treatment” of Tamils in Malaysia
|
CHENNAI: Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi on Tuesday urged the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to take immediate and appropriate action on the “sufferings and bad treatment” of Tamils in Malaysia.
Referring to the police action against the Tamils, who organised a rally in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday to protest against the “marginalisation” of the ethnic Indian minority in the South-East Asian nation, Mr. Karunanidhi said the Tamils constituted the largest percentage of the Indian community.
The protesters, who carried pictures of Mahatma Gandhi, demanded equal rights. The Malaysian police had used water cannons and tear gas to “crush the demonstration” and disperse the rally. Mr. Karunanidhi said the people of the State were disturbed over the happenings in Kuala Lumpur. He conveyed their concern over the treatment being meted out to the Tamils living in Malaysia for a very long period of time.
