SLMC’s Dilemma and Hakkeem’s habitual betrayal.
Posted on September 11th, 2012

By Charles.S.Perera

There is nothing new in Rauff Hakeem’sƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  stick in the mud attitude.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  He has already proved he is an unreliable partner in a coalition government.

As it happened during ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Chandrika Kumaratunga, PA Government Coalition ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…- Sri Lanka’s main Muslim party split following its pull out that turned the ruling coalition into a minority government, party officials said Friday.The Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) announced disciplinary action against two of its legislators who defied the leadership and remained with President Chandrika Kumaratunga’s People’s Alliance (PA) coalition.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚

This is what Rauff Hakim was and continues to be.

He has no firm principles.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  He is a real turn coat ready to turn sides to his benefit. He has no allegiance to any one except perhaps to himself.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  When SLMC wanted to contest the local elections separately while being in the UPFA there was no talk of his changing sides after elections.

Now that he has managed to get 7 seats and in a position to negotiate his allegiance, Rauff Hakeem has not the guts to declare ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ straight away where he would be , with the TNA and UNP or with the UPFA.

No one in Sri Lanka has forgotten that Hakeem even signed a MOU with Prabhakaran.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  What political respectability or respon,sibility could we expect from him ?

If he is an honest politician he should have hadƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  no hesitation to declareƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  who he will support to form a Provintial Administration in the East.

It is because of people like Rauff Hakeem that the Muslim Community isƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  not trusted by the other communities.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Like Rauff Hakeem the Muslim Community always seems to play a safe non- committal role in politics or in ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ any other National issue.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  They seem to be more concerned about making Islam a world religion andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  are prepared to sacrifice any patriotic attachment they may have to the country in whichƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  they were born to satisfy that objective.

The Muslim CommunityƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  does not participate actively in the defence of the country , butƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  sit apart as spectatorsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  and benefit from victory being on the side of theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  winner. At the same time the Muslim Community under the leadership of Rauff Hakeem will not hesitate to switch its allegiance to the enemy if they were to receive benefits from them through such switch. That exactly is HakeemƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s and SLMCƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚s dilemma at present .

It is farƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  better if we have to meet a known enemyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  like the terrorists, rather than the Muslims with Raff Hakeem as their leader, who are so vague, undecided, and hesitant.

Hakeem is unfortunately not a man of political or moral stature.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  But unfortunately the god fearing Muslims have selected him to lead them.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Hakeem is therefore like a man between the frying pan and the fire, yet seeking self aggrandisement.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  He would not like to lose his Ministerial post, nor any possible prestige and grandeurƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  accruing to him from being the architect ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  a TNA,UNP, SLMCƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  broad alliance as heƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  says as an opposition to the UPFA.

If he has commonsense as a Minister of the Government, he ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ should understandƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  that he also has the responsibility to ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ stand by the government in the context of the application of the report of LLRC, and the reconciliation process, and in view of the forth coming Human Rights Council Sessions in Geneva.

TNA is an outsider to Sri Lanka in a political context as they seek out side help and intervention of foreign Countries to settle the problem of the Tamil people of Sri Lanka rather than consult and discuss matters directly ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ with the government of Sri Lanka, its people and its communities.

UNP has done the mistake of joining hands with the TNA who are scheming to divide Sri Lanka.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  In the case of Ranil Wickramasinghe and the UNPƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  their relation ship with the terrorists had been ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-cordialƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ giving them their own areas of control under an illegalƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  CFA, and now forming an alliance with them is nothing but extending their cordiality with the LTTE to theirƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  heirs- the TNA which in reality has no legal right to remain a political party in Sri Lanka.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  TNA should have been disbanded after the 19th May,2009.

So what can we expect from Ranil Wickramasinghe and the UNP leadership ? They should be shunned byƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  the members of the UNP.

And in the light of these facts Rauff Hakeem need noƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  hesitation or further consultation if he is an honest politician , but say no to TNA and the UNP and stick with the UPFA to form an Administration in the Provincial Council in the Eastern Province.

    Well said Mr Perera.

    Have we forgotten Hack-him has a MoU with LTTE?

    That NOTORIOUS photo of Hack-him with Prabakaran is still there in the internet!!

  2. Muhandiram Says:

    The article is targetting Muslims,rather than Hakeem.we should know,that our Muslims brothers too sacrifice their life to fight against terrorism along with Sinhalese military.(more than 3000 Muslims died while on duty,as Militarymen).don’t make distance between Muslims and Sinhalese.Muslims are the only peaceful community in Sri Lanka,that lived with us in harmony,for the past 1000 years.even Sinhalese Christians slaughter our Buddhists brothers for the past.

    Charles is 100% correct,well said Sir!
    Its true that Hakeen has no proper policy.
    He changes swiftly for personnel gains.
    He will exchange his own wife for a few personnel profits.
    Having signed a MOU with LTTE Leader,HOW CAN ANY HUMAN BEING WITH EVEN AN IOTA OF A BRAIN CAN TRUST HIM?
    MR should have considered all these facts before accepting his support and offering him a Ministeril post in the Govt.
    Hakeem and the Muslims who supported him,HAVE PROVED BEYOND DOUBT DOUBT THAT SUCH MUSLIMS ARE A DISGRACE LOT.
    In this respect I TAKE MY HATS OFF FOR ALL THOSE WHO JOINED THE GOVT FROM UNP AND STILL STANDING WITH THE PRESIDENT!!!
    I think its better to offer SUPPORT TO TNA THAN SUPPORTING SLMC AS KNOWN ENEMY IS BETTER THAN THE UNKNOWN FRIEND!

    Muhandiram,

    Charles has said NOTHING against Muslims. Read English.

    If you think Hack-him = Muslims, you have a problem. Hack-him is the ENEMY of Muslims.

    Last time he contest the EPC election and LOST.!!

    We all recognize Muslims are peaceful and good contributors to war VICTORY, that is why we respect them. That is why their leaders didn’t end up in Nanthikadal.

    Muslims who fought the war NEVER supported Hack-him who signed a MoU with the LTTE!!!! He is a bloody traitor. The country will do better without Hack-him.
