Scared of the truth?

From BBC: Malaysia charges ethnic Indians:

Malaysia has charged 26 ethnic Indians with attempted murder in connection with an anti-discrimination rally last month, the defendants' lawyer has said.

The ostensible aim of the rally in Kuala Lumpur was to call on the British government to pay $4 trillion (£2 trillion) in compensation to the two million ethnic Indians in Malaysia whose ancestors were taken to the country as indentured labourers in the 19th century.

But the real goal of the demonstrators was to highlight the alleged discrimination of minority Indians in Malaysia, the BBC's Robin Brant in Kuala Lumpur says.

Ethnic Indians - mainly Hindus - form one of Malaysia's largest minority groups. Activists say that many Hindus live in poverty, partly because of policies granting jobs and economic advantages to the ethnic Malay Muslim majority.

It's so transparent that even a conservative news group reports it as fact.
