POLITICAL PARTIES BASED ON COMMUNITY, RELIGION AND COMMUNAL\nBASIS HAS TO BE BANNED IN SRI LANKA BY THE\nMAJORITY SINHALESE COMMUNITY AND NATIONALIST SINHALA FORCES\nIMMEDIATELY UNDER ANY NEW CONSTITUTION TO BE PRESENTED IN PARLIAMENT. FOR THIS\n\u2013  ALL SINHALA FORCES, INCLUDING THE MAHA SANGHA, THE SLFP, UNP (those who\nlove the maathruboomiya\u201d), JVP AND OTHER PATRIOTIC POLITICAL PARTIES INCLUDING\nTHE SLPP\/JO SHOULD GIVE THEIR FULLEST SUPPORT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. SEVENTY TWO\nPERCENTAGE (72% ) SINHALA MP\u2019s (voters) CAN EASILY DO THIS. MINORITY\nREPRESENTATION SHOULD ONLY BE IN THE NATIONAL PARTIES BY MEMBERSHIP AND BY\nBEING ELECTED FOR OFFICE IN THOSE PARTIES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIS\nIS THE ONLY WAY VOTE BANK CREATION BY MINORITY COMMUNITY POLITICAL LEADERS (THE\nMUSLIMS AND TAMILS) WHO TRADE THE VOTE BANK FOR SELFISH PERSONAL BENEFITS,\nFORGOING THE REAL BENEFITS FOR WHICH THE MINORITY GROUPS, ESPECIALLY THE MUSLIM\nVOTERS CAN BE SURE TO REAP THE TRUE BENEFITS OF THEIR POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS AND\nINSPIRATIONS, BE MADE POSSIBLE \/ A REALITY. A good example is the confession\nmade by Rauf Hakeem when Rauf Hakeem admitted that he took money from Mahinda\nRajapaksa, then President, to vote in favour of the 18th., Amendment\nBill to the constitution on September 8th., 2010. One of the SLMC\nstalwarts, Segu Dawood exposed this incident and Rauf Hakeem admitted it in\npublic. Browse this web link and learn how this political leader (MP. Rauf\nHakeem) got money to vote for the 18th., Amendment in parliament on 8th.,\nSeptember 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1994, when\nthe SLMC found an opportunity, supported by R. Premadasa to reduce the cut-off\npoint in proportional representation from 12.5 to 5 per cent, in return NOT to\nfield a Muslim candidate as a Presidential candidate, to stop the Muslims\nvoting Premadasa, the SLMC joined the UNP. (Rishad Bathiudeen) and\ntheAtthaullah, regional Eastern province Muslim party), began to adopt THIS\nPOLITICAL TRADING OF THE MUSLIM VOTES\u201d and making DEALS\u201d that was of NO\nBENEFIT, BUT DETRIMENTAL TO THE MUSLIM FACTOR\u201d which were supported by the All\nCeylon Jamiyathul Ulema and so-called Muslim Civil Society groups, whose\nleadership also were given a SHARE\u201d of these SPOILS and BENEFITS\u201d, became the\nNORM\u201d of the SLMC, ACMC, NATIONAL CONGRES, ACJU, THE NATIONAL SHOORA COUNCIL\nand the MUSLIM COUNCIL OF SRI LANKA, in the equation of Minority politics in\nSri Lanka since 1994\/1980. As a result of these deceptions, the Muslims in\nSri Lanka do NOT have a voice \u2013 a POLITICAL VOICE\u201d for that purpose. The\nMuslims did not benefit to resolve their economical, employment, development,\nland education and fundamental rights issues by VOTING the SLMC, ACMC or THE\nNATIONAL CONGRESS. The Muslims became POLITICAL ORPHANS\u201d in Sri Lanka at last.\nToday this has become a MENACE and a SICKNESS in the democratic political\nprocess of our country. Not only has it affected the Sri Lanka Muslims, but\nalso PRALALYSED THE DEMOCRATIC RIGHT OF THE MAJORITY SINHALA COMMUNITY WHICH IS\n72% OF THE NATION TO MAKE ANY DECECIVE POLITICAL CONCLUSSION BENEFICAL TO THEIR\nAND OUR MAATHRUBOOMIYA\u201d OR TO AMEND \/ ADJUST THE CONSTITUTION TO THEIR NEEDS\nFOR THE BENEFIT OF THE NATION AND OUR MAATHRUBOOMIYA\u201d. The present\nconstitutional conflict in parliament is a result of this POLITICAL\nPLIGHT\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With\nthe media uncovering the corruption and deception of the Muslim political\nleaders in recent times and exposing these DECEPTIVE AND HOODWINKING\u201d Muslim\npoliticians and their operating beneficial gangs, the Muslim political culture\nhas begun to change. Today this VOTE BANK TRADING BY MINORITY MUSLIM\nAND TAMIL POLITICAL PARTY LEADERS\u201d has become a MENACE and a SICKNESS in the\ndemocratic political process of our country. THIS HAS TO STOP FORTHWITH FOR A\nHEALTHY POLITICAL PROCESS TO TAKE PLACE IN OUR COUNTRY and the RIGHT for the\nvoters to decide what their communities should do and the majority who are\nSINHALA VOTERS to decide what is best for the country they should do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the\nMuslim Minority Community, the fact remains NOW, the Muslim\nvoters are acting on their own<\/strong> and do NOT wish to be\nrepresented by these MUNAAFIKK and DECEPTIVE MUSLIM POLITICIANS\u201d. THE SLMC AND\nACMC MP\u2019S SHOULD ALSO ACT ON THEIR OWN NOW, Insha Allah. We Muslims should set\nan example like our predecessors who TRUSTED\u201d the majority community in the\nwake of the British trying to delay giving us independence in 1948. The role of\nDr. T B Jayah becomes paramount at this moment to recollect, because had he, or\nthe Muslim community, sided with the British at that time, granting of\nIndependence to Ceylon would have been postponed. It is only because the\nminorities agreed that there was a United Front of Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims\nasking for Independence. But one man was against it. That was G G Ponnambalam\nwho tried to extract his pound of flesh. He said I will sign on the dotted line\nonly if you agree to Fifty Fifty\u201d. That is 50% of the seats for the Sinhalese\nand 50% for the minorities. Only if you agree to that, he told D S Senanayake,\nwill I support the call for independence. It was at this point that\nJayah rejected the \u2018fifty fifty\u2019 formula. He said he preferred to work in\ntrust, to work in faith and goodwill with the majority community.<\/strong> Thereby\nT.B.Jayah totally undercut G G Ponnambalam\u2019s fifty fifty\u201d cry. That was the\ndeath knell of Fifty Fifty\u201d. If Jayah joined the fifty fifty\u201d cry at that\ntime, Independence would have been postponed. One has to remember that even the\nword Sinhala was erased from the political lexicon. S W R D Bandaranaike\nditched the idea of the Sinhala Maha Saba and he first joined the UNP and later\nset up the Sri Lanka Freedom Party which too did not have racial connotations.\nEverybody felt that communal parties were counter-productive. It is time\nup that a NEW POLITICAL FORCE\u201d that will be honest and sincere that will\nproduce CLEAN\u201d and diligent Muslim Politicians to stand up and defend the\nMuslim Community politically and otherwise, especially from among the YOUTH has\nto RISE\u201d, and this NEW POLITICAL FORCE\u201d has to support the new government to be\nformed under President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and PM Mahinda Rajapaksa and the\nmajority Sinhalese citizens notwithstanding the fact that the Tamils of the\nNorth and East and the Upcountry Tamils and all minorities should be equally\nrespected, politically, for a better Sri Lanka, God willing, Insha Allah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muslims should\ndecide to vote Gotabaya Rajapaksa as the New President of Sri Lanka on November\n16th., 2019 wholeheartedly, and be part of the VICTORY OF THE SRI LANKANS who\nlove our “MAATHRUBOOMIYA”, Insha Allah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
