'Pakatan will implement Hindraf plan in 100 days'

Should Pakatan Rakyat assume federal power, the Hindu Rights Action Force's (Hindraf) five-year blueprint on resolving the Indian community's woes will be implemented within 100 days, declared Pakatan supremo Anwar Ibrahim.

"I've even said that we will discuss it and resolve (the blueprint) within 100 days of Pakatan (taking over Putrajaya).

"What I mean is we have agreed on the blueprint," he told 1,500 Indian attendees in a two-hour question-and-answer session in Shah Alam last night.

The opposition leader was responding to a question raised by Semparuthi news portal editor Jiwi Kathaiah on whether Pakatan would put its fingerprint on the Hindraf blueprint.

Aside from Semparuthi, the main organiser, four other Tamil newspapers, Tamil Nesan, Thinakural, Makkal Osai and Malaysia Nanban participated in the session.

Previously, Hindraf had warned that Pakatan's "inordinate delay" in endorsing the blueprint, may result the coalition losing the NGO's support in the coming election.
