The Barisan Bertindak Melayu Islam (Bertindak) also said Hindraf was a “rude” organisation which could affect relations between the different races in the country.
Its chief secretary, Mohd Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz, after calling Hindraf chairman P Waythamoorthy a “dangerous individual”, warned him not to interfere in other religions’ activities.
“The emergency meeting attended by Malay Muslim NGOs today follows their disappointment. They strongly condemn the audacity of certain individuals from Hindraf who are clearly trying to disrupt public peace.
“This meeting is not to be enemies or show hatred towards the Indians and Hindus in this country, nor any other race.
“This meeting carries the slogan ‘Melayu Bangkit’ (Rise Up Malays) to remind and give a stern warning to the individual known as P Waythamoorthy from Hindraf as well as those who act like him not to touch on the rights of Muslims and Malays because this may cause another May 13 incident to happen.”
The group’s press conference was also attended by Malaysian Muslims Consumers Association (PPIM), Perkasa, Pertubuhan Muafakat Sejahtera Masyarakat Malaysia, the Federation of Malay Students Union (GPMS) and the Pertubuhan Pembela Islam at the Sultan Sulaiman Club today.
Last Saturday, Waythamoorthy said Hindraf was seeking an audience with the Raja of Perlis to present a case for the sacking of Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin.
Hindraf is among those vocal against controversial Muslim preacher Zakir Naik, who is wanted by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) for suspected money laundering and terrorist propaganda promotion.
