IT WAS NOT A STATEMENT OF PROBABLE THREAT BY THE SLPP\/SLFP OR\nMAHINDA PELA TO THE MUSLIMS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Presidential Elections and general elections of 2010,\n20% of the total Muslim votes were polled in favour of President Mahinda\nRajapaksa and the UPFA. In the 2005 presidential elections, the Muslims played\na major role in the victory of Mahinda Rajapaksa, it was reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The late T.B. Jaya said that the Muslims should not put all their\neggs in one basket\u201d. What did this mean? It meant that the Muslims should be\nrepresented in both the National Sinhala political parties. Today, for some\nreason, there is only one Muslim elected representation in the SLFP\/ Mathri\npela\u201d, Hon. Fowzi and NONE in the Ekkabadde Vipaksaya\u201d (the Mahinda Rajapaksa\ngroup) a political force of nearly 51 SLFP\/UPFA elected\u201d parliamentarians.\nTherefore the Muslims do not have a political voice. It is true that we have\nallowed the affairs of our community to be taken control of unscrupulous,\ndishonest, deceptive, self-motivated, selfish, corrupt and manipulating Muslim\npoliticians, Muslim political party leaders, Ulema and Media personnel, that\nhas led our community to be considered as a 2nd., class community in Sri Lanka.\nIn politics, we are considered as the community of political naanaas who turn\nthe way their Fez Cap turns\u201d to support any political party that comes to power\nfor the personal gains of the political leaders of the Muslim parties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Muslim politicians have hoodwinked and betrayed the Muslim\nCommunity wholesale. In the aftermath of the Aluthgama\/Beruwela incidents, the\ndecision taken by the Muslims to steer clear from these politicians and to take\ntheir own political moves was the most appropriate. But the Yahapalana government\nhas betrayed the Muslim Community by still NOT making the probe on the violence\nof Aluthgama and Beruwela which happened as a result of the communal racist\nactions of the so-called nationalist Buddhist clergy organization and Sinhalese\ngroups, which is suspected to have taken place with the connivance of a\nRajapaksa family member, OR is the Yahapalana government was trying to cover-up\nthe involvements of a prominent former Mahinda Government Minister of the\nUNFGG’s in the Kalutara District at the 2015, and left the country on the eve\nof the violence? Rumours say it was Dr. Rajitha Seneratne the most\n“violent opponent of Gotabaya” in the presidentail campaign\n2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahinda might have been a bad example of a leader for the Muslims,\nbetween 2010 and 2015, but we cannot discard him as a political power and\nhis brother now – a would be next President of Sri Lanka as Attorney-at-Law Ali\nSabri had stated\/states. The rest we have to leave to God AllMighty Allah.\nTherefore the decisions for the Muslims to support Gotabaya Rajapaksa fits\ncorrectly to the thinking of the late Muslim political leader at that time \u2013\nlate T.B. Jaya. Attorney-at-Law Ali Sabry had highlighted the need for the\nMuslim voters to think in the same manner and take the advice given by the late\nMuslim Politician Dr. T.B. Jaya that “The Muslims should NOT put all their\neggs in one basket”, is what is appropriate for the present times, Insha\nAllah. Muslims should look for Muslim politicians with the “ROLE\nMODEL” of persons like late T.B. Jaya, S.L. Naina Marikkar, Cassim\nIsmail, Cassim Umar, Mactan Ismail, Ash Sheik Mohamedu Fazi, S.N. Ismail, L.M.\nSapur, M.K. Saldin, N.H.M. Abdul Cader, Makan Makar and A.R. Razcik (later\nreferred to as Sir Razick Fareed) in National\/Local Politics, Insha Allah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also what The Muslim Voice\u201d was also advocating, since\nJune 14, 2014, Insha Allah. This is what “THE MUSLIM VOICE” was\nstriving to do from the wilderness of the Muslim political arena, Insha Allah.\nIt is time up that a NEW POLITICAL FORCE that will be honest and sincere, to\nstand up and defend the Muslim Community politically and otherwise, especially\nfrom among the YOUTH, and safe guard the DIGNITY of our community has to emerge\nfrom within the Sri Lanka Muslim Community to face any new election in the\ncoming future, Insha Allah. THE STATEMENT MADE BY ATTORNEY-AT-LAW ALI SABRY\n–  ambanaikku kidaikkum\u201d Ambanakata hambuwei\u201d HAS TO BE SEEN\nAS A “METAPHORIC” STATEMENT. IT WAS NOT A STATEMENT OF PROBABLE\nTHREAT BY THE SLPP\/SLFP OR MAHINDA PELA,  Insha Allah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
