New Delhi: The Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF) of Malaysia has urged the Leader of the Opposition LK Advani to urge the government so that an all-party delegation is sent to look into the plight of Hindus there.

HINDRAF Chairperson P Waytha Moorthy called on Advani at his home here late Tuesday and was with him for over half an hour, said Advani's personal staff.

Moorthy said: "I asked him to urge the government to send a discreet high-powered cross-party delegation to see for itself the plight of the Hindus in Malaysia. He has promised to take this up with the government and send a delegation soon.

"I asked him to speak to the Malaysian government to secure the release of five of our top office-bearers who are being detained without any trial under the Internal Security Act. He was surprised when I described to him the suppression and oppression we have undergone there in last 50 years.

"We are meeting other leaders also to build pressure on the Indian government."
