Ipoh Barat MP M. Kulasegaran says authorities cannot claim that M. Indira Gandhi’s wanted ex-husband cannot be located when he has been able to collect government assistance.
Kulasegaran, who is deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform), expressed frustration over the nearly 17-year failure to trace Muhammad Riduan Abdullah and the couple’s abducted daughter, Prasana Diksa.
He said a fugitive who can still receive Sara or other government benefits cannot be considered untraceable. He added that mechanisms exist and he hopes Riduan can be located, arrested and brought to justice.
At the March for Justice event organised by the Indira Gandhi Action Team (Ingat), Indira and her supporters walked from Sogo KL to Bukit Aman in hope of securing a meeting with the Inspector-General of Police Mohd Khalid Ismail.
Indira’s team maintains that Riduan and Prasana remain in the country, noting that Riduan’s identity card was reportedly used to access the Budi95 and Sara aid schemes.
Activist Marina Mahathir, who also joined the march, said the issue was not about religion but justice.
She said religions do not teach cruelty, and anyone using religion to justify harm should be ashamed. She expressed hope that the case will be resolved soon and that Indira will eventually reunite with her daughter.
