At the Palace of Justice, where the nation’s highest courts hear cases that shape people’s lives, a mother painted a deeply painful picture of what could happen if she crossed paths with her own daughter.
“If she does not greet me, I would not recognise her if I met her on the street… It is heartbreaking for a mother not to know her own child. It is unbearable,” said M Indira Gandhi.
The last time the mother of three laid eyes on her youngest child was when she was just an 11-month-old infant in 2009.
After exhausting every avenue, including ascending and descending the court steps countless times over the past 17 years, Indira hopes her plight will move her daughter, Prasana Diksa, to get in touch.
“I hope if she sees this, just come and see me… That is all I want.
“I hope she can contact me because that’s the only way. I’ve gone to the courts, I’ve gone to the police, and I still have not heard anything (about Prasana).
“My only hope is to go and plead to the public or for Prasana herself to contact me,” the 52-year-old kindergarten teacher told reporters, struggling to hold back tears.
Indira was present at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya for the Court of Appeal’s decision in her RM100 million nonfeasance suit appeal, which was dismissed.

Indira has been embroiled in an uphill legal battle since her ex-husband, Riduan Abdullah, formerly known as K Pathmananthan, unilaterally converted their children to Islam and abducted their then 11-month-old daughter.
She obtained full custody of her children in 2010, resulting in her two elder children, Tevidarsiny and Karan Dinish, being returned to her.
Despite the custody order and subsequent court rulings, Prasana was never returned.
No contact from cops since Nov 22 march
After years of legal battles, Indira, together with the Indira Gandhi Action Team (Ingat) and several prominent activists, staged a march on Nov 22 last year to protest the authorities’ failure to locate and return her daughter.
Describing the march as her final appeal to the nation’s conscience, Indira had hoped to end it by meeting Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail.

However, the meeting only took place 18 days after the march. Ingat chairperson Arun Dorasamy later described it as a disappointing affair, claiming that Khalid appeared oblivious to the gravity of their plight.
Speaking to reporters today, Arun claimed that there has been no communication with the police since that meeting.
“After the meeting, I was informed that the criminal investigation division’s deputy will contact me to get all the intelligence we gathered through our private investigators. But there’s been no contact…,” he added.

ReplyDeleteUN Commission concludes that deportation and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children by Russian authorities, as well as enforced disappearances, amount to crimes against humanity
12 March 2026
GENEVA/VIENNA– Russian authorities committed the crimes against humanity of deportation and forcible transfer of children, and of their enforced disappearance, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said in its latest report to the Human Rights Council, which is complemented by a conference room paper.
Thousands of children have been deported to the Russian Federation or transferred to occupied areas in Ukraine by Russian authorities, according to the Commission. It has so far verified the deportation or transfer of over 1,200 children from five regions in Ukraine.
Shortly before the full-scale invasion, the Russian authorities undertook large-scale relocations, which they justified as “evacuations” due to the risks of the armed conflict. But the Commission found that four years later, 80 per cent of the children from the documented cases have not been returned. This contravenes international humanitarian law, under which evacuations can only be temporary for compelling reasons of health, medical treatment or safety.
“The deportation and forcible transfer of children is a grave violation of international law,” said Erik Møse, Chair of the Commission. “Children must never be separated from their families coercively.”
Russian authorities have coordinated legislative, administrative, and practical measures to facilitate deportations, transfers and subsequent placement of children in families and institutions in the Russian Federation. Some of these measures were adopted in the days preceding the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion.
The evidence collected demonstrates that authorities acted pursuant to a policy conceived and executed at the highest level of the Russian Federation’s leadership. The involvement of President Vladimir Putin, and Maria Lvova-Belova, the Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights, has been visible from the outset. This policy has been implemented by authorities and institutions across various branches of power at central and regional levels in the Russian Federation, as well as in the occupied territories in Ukraine.
Russian authorities have systematically failed to disclose the whereabouts of the children to parents or legal guardians and have kept children in a coercive environment making their return to families almost impossible.
Instead of establishing a system facilitating the return of children, Russian authorities placed them under long-term arrangements with families or institutions in 21 regions of the Russian Federation and in the occupied territories. They systematically granted Russian citizenship to the children whom they deported or transferred and their profiles were also placed on adoption databases.

A twisted fart, intertwined with generalized statement to vent yr lie!
DeleteMost of the so called 'deportation and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children by Russian authorities, as well as enforced disappearances…' r reported san strong supporting local voices.
Russia has indeed relocated many children from the war-torned Ukraine Donnas region back to Russia proper. Instead of the deceiving terms used, many of these children were been SENT by their parents to a safe ground, away from the ongoing war, to their closed relatives in Russia.
Due to historical reasons, many Donbass natives have very closed blood-linked family members residing in Russia. Many r still sharing strong Russian influences & traditions. & these r the major reasons WHY the Donnas natives r been mistreated & oppressed by the central Ukrainian administration - eventually leading to the native calls of Autonomous!
Russia has NOT massively evacuated large number of people from outside Donnas region, back to Russia. Strategically, this is a wrong military security move - to have outside unknown elements mixing with yr folks. Besides, housing & food supplies r also major issues that r very difficult to handle properly in a warring environment.
So, blurred & f*cked gullible gullies, do ply yr mfering lies back to yr fart chamber!
