The home minister was interviewed with regards to the ban that was imposed against Hindraf. Below are excerpts from the interview

“I think I got support from the Indian community who are peace loving,”

“(The ban) is not against the Indians or the Hindu religion. We have no problems with the Indians or the Hindu religion.

“The Indian community and the Hindus have always worked very well with us,”

“It is an extremist group. It advocates and propagates hatred, inciting feelings against certain segments of the community”

“We have got their addresses and offices bearers – that’s how you enforce. And their activities are now no longer legal,”

And now the icing on the cake :

“For your information, all ministers of home affairs will never take a populist view. We are never popular but we are like a candle – we burn ourselves in order to protect society.”

The Candle Has Spoken!
