(Bernama) -- MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu has asked Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to state his stand on PAS' intention to introduce "hudud" laws (Islamic penal code) in the country.
He said Anwar, who is Parti Keadilan Rakyat adviser, should not remain silent on the issue as failure to state his stand on the implementation of the laws could trigger a protest by Indians in the country.
He said there was already a "silent protest" among the Indians after PAS vice-president Datuk Husam Musa had reportedly said that PAS had not forgotten its aim of implementing hudud laws in the country.
"Anwar should explain his stand and that of the party (PKR) he represents so that the people, especially the non-Muslims who support the opposition, will be able to evaluate and come to a decision on whether to continue to support the opposition," he said in a statement here Saturday.
Samy Vellu said that at the last general election, on March 8, many Indians had carried PAS flags "but is this how PAS and the other opposition parties reward them".
He said it was clear that Indians were opposed to the implementation of the hudud laws.
With the latest developments, Samy Vellu said, Anwar should "clear the air" on the issue as failure to do so would only prove that Anwar and the opposition were taking the people for a ride.
