PETALING JAYA: Police have arrested three men including two DAP assemblymen from Melaka and Negeri Sembilan, believed to be over their alleged links to terrorism, FMT has learnt.

Gadek assemblyman G Saminathan, who is also a Melaka state executive councillor, and Seremban Jaya assemblyman P Gunasekaren were arrested by Bukit Aman officers this morning, along with the leader of an Indian NGO from Perak.

A source said they are being investigated for links with the now-defunct Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), the separatist group which was involved in the decades-old civil war in Sri Lanka.

When contacted, Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy confirmed their arrests to FMT.




“We were told they were arrested over a ‘heroes day’ gathering they attended last year,” said Ramasamy.

Bukit Aman’s anti-terrorism chief Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay meanwhile said a statement would be issued later.

Arrest DAP’s Ramasamy as well, PAS MP tells cops

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 — Following the arrest of two DAP state lawmakers for alleged ties with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), PAS leader Datuk Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali At-Takiri has now called for the arrest of the Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P. Ramasamy over his alleged involvement with the defunct group.
In a lengthy statement issued today, the Kuala Nerus MP urged authorities to also take action against Ramasamy, not only for his supposed ties with the LTTE, but for allegedly inciting racial tension through his speeches and past statements.


“I welcome the action of the police to arrest the Seremban Jaya assemblyman P. Gunasekaran and the Gadek Adun who is also an exco member of the Melaka state government G. Saminathan under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma).
“However, I am of the view that it is more important that they arrest the Perai Adun, who is Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P. Ramasamy,” read his statement.

The PAS central leadership committee member then cited numerous public statements previously made by Ramasamy, some dating back to 2014, which Mohd Khairuddin claimed proved that the deputy chief minister had supposedly made controversial statements that could incite racial tensions.

Among the examples cited by the PAS leader included online articles, Facebook posts and news reports quoting Ramasamy.
These included the latter’s comments on the general plight of the Indian community, how the community is supposedly exploited by the government, the challenges it faced with employment, tertiary education opportunities, and when intending to erect places of worship and organise cultural activities.
Other comments compiled by Mohd Khairuddin included Ramasamy’s statements related to the introduction of khat in the education syllabus and how judicial decisions had always sided with the Malays.
The PAS MP also included Ramasamy’s claims that subtle Islamisation was happening among primary school students, and how the deputy chief minister had supposedly rallied non-Muslims political leaders to challenge Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s stance on the Dr Zakir Nik issue, as inciting racial tension.
“These statements of P. Ramasamy have spread far and wide and are accessible and readable by all Malaysians across the globe, readers who can then be influenced by him after taking into consideration his position as the deputy chief minister and as a member of DAP’s central executive committee, including his position as a former professor,” read his statement.
Mohd Khairuddin then urged authorities to take action against Ramasamy for issuing statements tantamount to public mischief under Section 505 of the Penal Code, an offence that carries a punishment of a maximum two-year imprisonment and a fine.
This comes following the announcement by Bukit Aman Special Branch Counter-terrorism Division (E8) principal assistant director, Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, who confirmed that Melaka and Negri Sembilan assemblymen were arrested for participating in an LTTE “Heroes Day” celebration in Melaka on November 28, 2018.
Ayob Khan had said that the two allegedly “delivered speeches that contained elements that showed support towards the LTTE” and had also allegedly distributed materials related to the group.
The political duo was among five other suspects nabbed in Malaysia for allegedly promoting, supporting and sourcing funds meant for the LTTE.

* Malaysia Police arrest more LTTE members, detect financial transactions to activate LTTE
Sun, Oct 13, 2019, 08:21 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.

Oct 13, Colombo: Malaysian police have arrested five more Malaysians who are said to be followers and sympathizers of the defunct Sri Lankan terrorist group, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The police have so far arrested 12 people from different locations.
Two of the seven men arrested in the first swoop last week were ethnic-Indian assemblymen from the Democratic Action Party (DAP), part of the ruling Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition, The Straits Times reported.
The Chief of the Counter Terrorism Division Malaysian Police Datuk Ayob Khan at a press conference in Bukit Aman today said financial transactions involving huge sum of money were detected in the accounts of individuals detained in the operations carried out on Thursday and Saturday (Oct 10 and 12) over their alleged involvement in LTTE.
The police believe that there are efforts to activate the LTTE group in the country.
"The financial transactions are believed to fund the promotional activities, recruitment and mobilization of LTTE programs in the country," he said at a press conference today.
The official said there is a movement trying to activate the LTTE and that's why the police are making the arrests to stop it from expanding.
The counter-terrorism chief stressed that the arrests were against a terrorist group and not against the Tamils. He said there was nothing wrong to have sympathies for the Tamils in Sri Lanka, but it is an offence to support the LTTE as they are a terror group.
The LTTE has been listed as a terrorist group in Malaysia since 2014.

Cos ur ah neh modi said so?

 

[whoami]

At the time, Narendra Modi was Gujarat's chief minister, equivalent of state governor, and many blamed him for doing little or nothing to stop the violence. (In 2005, Modi was even denied a U.S. visa for this reason).

Modi is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist volunteer organisation.


Why India's BJP wants to rekindle the Babri mosque dispute

The BJP fears loss of popularity so much that it feels the need to ignite another communal conflict to stay in power.

Twenty-six years ago, Hindu nationalists destroyed the Babri Masjid in the northern city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh state, sparking some of the bloodiest communal violence in India's recent history, which killed some 2,000 people.

The perpetrators claimed Mughal Emperor Babur had erected the mosque in place of a "magnificent" Hindu temple dedicated to the Hindu god Ram in an attempt to "humiliate Hindus". They argued the demolition of the Babri Masjid was not just "an act of revenge" but also a "religious duty".

The mobs that demolished the mosque were mobilised by the parent body of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and aided by numerous Hindu nationalist groups, including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal. The man accused of leading the agitation was a cofounder of the BJP, Lal Krishna Advani.

At the time, the BJP used the demolition to increase its support base among India's Hindu majority. Advani, who later served as home minister and deputy prime minister of India, is currently facing trial for conspiracy charges in the Babri mosque demolition case.

While Advani was the face of the BJP's Ram temple campaign at the time, Narendra Modi, India's current prime minister, was the backroom manager of this divisive enterprise. He later used the political capital he gained as result of the Hindu nationalist wave triggered by the Ayodhya agitation to propel himself into national politics and eventually to the premiership.

Today, he and his party are seeking to reignite the flames of the Ayodhya dispute, pushing the country towards a new period of unprecedented polarisation and conflict.

Modi and his leadership know that the demolition of the Babri mosque helped make Islamophobia acceptable and mainstream and an effective political tool. The helplessness or unwillingness of state institutions to stop the campaign which led to the mosque's demolition and deliver justice to the victims of the subsequent bloodshed across India have resulted in the political marginalisation of Muslims and other minorities.

Even after the demolition of the mosque, the issue of the building of a Ram temple on its site remained unresolved. Then Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao of the Congress party promised to rebuild the demolished mosque. The BJP, while never agreeing to the potential rebuilding of the mosque, put the plans for constructing a Ram temple on its site on the backburner to allow the backlash it faced because of the demolition and the consequent communal riots to die down.

Meanwhile, a title lawsuit over the site of the mosque that has been ongoing since the 1950s was carried to the Supreme Court. All major political parties, including the BJP, eventually agreed to wait for the decision of the Supreme Court on this title case before taking any action regarding the faith of the demolished mosque.

For many years, the court case has been stuck in the Supreme Court, but something changed this year. Subramanian Swamy, a prominent BJP member, asked the court to expedite the matter.

There were several reasons behind the governing party's new-found ambition to build a Ram temple in Ayodhya as quickly as possible.

The BJP feels the need to pressure the courts to make a decision as soon as possible because the nationwide support for the party is diminishing rapidly and an important national election is just around the corner.

Controversial economic decisions, like the demonetisation of high-value currency notes and the rollout of a Goods and Services Tax, combined with the ongoing discontent of the farmers and rising youth unemployment, caused the public's trust in Modi to visibly erode in the last couple of years.

To counter this growing anti-incumbent sentiment and guarantee another general election victory in the national vote scheduled for April, the BJP and its parent body RSS focused their attention on the campaign to build a temple in Ayodhya - the issue that propelled them to power in the first place.

While campaigning for the December 11 regional assembly elections, they made sure the Ayodhya dispute is at the forefront of all discussions. On the campaign trail, Prime Minister Modi repeatedly accused the main opposition party Congress of terrorising the judiciary and preventing judges from reaching a pro-Hindu decision in the title case concerning the site of the Babri mosque. Amit Shah, the president of the BJP, vowed not to give even an inch on the issue, while leaders of the RSS and the BJP said that the court must give a judgement which respects Hindu sentiments.

Despite all these efforts, the BJP lost power in three key states - Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh - in recent local elections. However, the party still managed to avoid a wipeout in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, proving once again that their strategy of using Hindu nationalist agitations to counter the growing popular dissatisfaction with the government is working at least partially.
The building of a Ram temple in Ayodhya is an emotive issue for the Hindus, potent enough to make many of them to ignore their economic woes and rally around any party that espouses this cause. Most Hindus believe it is their religious duty to back the campaign and many believe that Muslims, as "the progeny of Babur", have to be kept in their place - as subjugated people of India, living under the domination of Hindus. It is this feeling of dominance that the BJP seeks to stoke.

In this sense, its strategy to mobilise around the issue of building of a Ram temple in Ayodhya is likely to turn even more aggressive as the 2019 general elections near. The opponents of the party, and anyone who cares for the unity, prosperity and wellbeing of India, should now be more alert than ever before to the dangers posed by this toxic dispute
