The Indian Progressive Front (IPF) Tuesday urged former Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, P. Waythamoorthy to stop issuing statements that can tarnish the image of the government and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
IPF President Datuk M. Sambanthan said Waythamoorhty's call for Najib to step down shows that he (Waythamoorthy) was trying to conceal his own failure while being the Deputy Minister.
"I would also like to refute Waythamoorthy's claims that the government had failed to help the Indian community because thus far the government had provided various assistance to the Indian community and the latest is Najib's announcement to allocate RM100 million a year to help Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan
Tamil," he told Bernama when met at Wisma Bernama, here, Tuesday.
Sambanthan was commenting on statements issued by Waythamoorthy that the government under Najib's leadership had failed to fulfill promises made to the Indian community.
Waythamoorthy had accused Najib of cheating the Indian community and failing to honour his promises to them.
The IPF leader also chided Waythamoorhty for resigning his posts, and his claims that he could not meet Najib and that his proposals for the betterment of the Indian community was not received.
"By right, as the Deputy Minister, he should represent the Indian community in the government and call upon all Indian community leaders to discuss programmes that can benefit the Indian community.
"But for the nine months that he was the Deputy Minister, he had never called the Indian leaders, and in fact had kept away from us and that is not right," he said.
Sambanthan hoped the Indian community would not be influenced by Waythaamoorthy's claims and attempt to run down the government, for his own benefit.
Last Monday, Waythamoorthy who is also the Hindraf leader resigned as the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department as well as the post of Senator.
