Moorthy fled the country fearing arrest but five other Hindraf leaders were subsequently detained under the Internal Security Act, which allows indefinite jail without trial. They are accused of being a threat to national security but no charges have been filed.
However, the Indian leader does not regret starting the movement. “I will never regret but I feel sorry for those detained and frustrated with the system, the government.”
He said he plans to stay in London for now and continue lobbying internationally with Hindraf donations. “I would prefer to keep pushing, keep the people’s spirit high and the safest thing to do is to conduct prayers.”
