Ethnic Indians protesting alleged marginalisation in Malaysia now plan to resort to ‘Gandhigiri’, presenting 10,000 Valentine’s Day roses to the country’s Premier to highlight their demand for justice.

The “Valentine Roses Campaign” will be the first public event organised by Hindraf since a massive protest demonstration here on November 25.

Hindraf Chairman P Waytha Moorthy, now in London, said a minimum of 10,000 Malaysian Indians would assemble outside Parliament on February 16 to gift red and yellow roses to Premier Abdullah Badawi in conjunction with Valentine’s Day.

“Red Roses would signify Hindraf’s love and peaceful struggle while yellow roses would signify the demand for justice for the five Hindraf leaders held under the draconian laws and for the rights of the minority Indian community who have been neglected for the last 50 years, since Independence, by the Government,” he said in a statement.
