PRESIDENT  GOTABAYA RAJAPAKSA AND PM. MAHINDA RAJAPAKSA FROM THE BEGINNING TO MAKE SURE  THAT THE <strong>SLPP <\/strong>GETS A 2\/3 MAJORITY AT THE APRIL\/MAY GENERAL ELECTIONS IN  2020. This is what HE. Gotabaya Rajapaksa is asking for from the new government  parliamentarians and the people of our &#8220;Maathruboomiya&#8221;. The Muslims should look  at this political opportunity positively and this is the right time for Muslims  to get organized to make sure that the Muslim Vote Bank will caste their votes  to the SLPP candidates at the next general elections in April\/May  2020.<br><br> What  WE AS SRI LANKA MUSLIMS HAVE FORGOTTEN\u00a0 is about the aspirations and  inspirations of the Sri Lanka Muslims and Muslim Vote bank. We\/our votes are  sold to either the UNP or SLFP (UNF, UPFA or NDF) for the benefit of the  deceptive MUNAAFIKK\u201d Muslim political leaders\/party leaders. The Muslim Voice\u201d  believes that the country\u2019s thinking that a CHANGE\u201d should be brought in with  minority communities supporting the SLPP is correct. It has been proved beyond  doubt that the present PM Ranil Wickremasinghe is really involved in the Bond  Scam and has always worked against the welfare of the poor and supported the  capitalist elite with great interest in helping the foreign powers with whom  governments headed by Ranil has been maintaining close dealings, against the  interest of Sri Lanka &#8211; our &#8220;MAATHRUBOOMIYA&#8221;. Muslims should understand more  what &#8220;MAATHRUBOOMIYA&#8221; has meant to the majority Sinhales people. Moreover, he  has also\u00a0<strong>betrayed<\/strong>\u00a0the  Muslims when ever he was in power after getting EN-BLOCK\u201d Muslim. Since  2014,\u201dThe Muslim Voice\u201d spoke in favour of the Sri Lanka Muslims supporting the  MAHINDA PELA\u201d, JO and now the SLPP, the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna  (POTTUWA).\u00a0<strong>&#8220;The  Muslim Voice&#8221; is happy that 38% of the Muslim Vote Bank\u00a0 voted HE. Gotabaya  Rajapaksa at the November 16th., Presidential Elections.<\/strong>\u00a0What  ever some of the Sinhala MP&#8217;s who say that the Muslims did not vote HE. Gotabaya  Rajapaksa (SLPP\/POTTUWA), the above is the political  truth.<br><br> Why  The Muslim Voice\u201d advocated this view was because, the Sri Lanka Muslims would  have worked out to win the confidence of the Mahinda\/Gotabaya\/Basil Pela and its  Sinhala Buddhist Nationalistic supporters\/voters. Today the Muslims, politicians  and so-called civil society organizers (not the ordinary Muslim voter) trusting  the UNP and flocking en-block and have traded nearly 600,000 Muslim votes to the  UNP\/NDF\/TNA alliance, has betrayed and dumped the Sri Lankan Muslims in the  political dustbin, beaten and penalized as a result of the conspiracies of the  UNP\/BBS\/Rajitha Seneratne, Champika Ranawaka and the so-called Civil Society  groups like the Puravasibalaya which is supported by our own Muslim Civil  Society groups such as the Muslim Council of Sri Lanka (an ad-hock group  gathered without a constitution and by-laws), the National Shoora Council and  ACJU.<br> The  political principle\/ideology that The Muslim Voice\u201d advocated and is advocating  it even now is because it is based on the political vision shown to us by the  late Dr. T.B.Jaya, viz-a-viz \u2013 NOT TO PUT ALL OUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET WHEN IT  COMES TO POLITICS\u201d. It is Time up that the Sri Lanka Muslims should rethink  their stand to gain advantages for the future by supporting\/negotiating with the  SLPP or the Mahinda Pela.\u00a0<strong>THEREFORE  IT IS BETTER FOR THE SRI LANKA MUSLIMS TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT OF GOTABAYA  RAJAPAKSA AND PM MAHINDA RAJAPAKSA FROM THE BEGINNING AND HELP THE SLPP ALLIANCE  WIN THE GENERAL ELECTIONS IN APRIL\/MAY 2020 WITH A 2\/3 MAJORITY IN PARLIAMENT,  Insha Allah.<\/strong><br> The Muslim Voice\u201d is followed by many thousands of well-wishers  supporters who have appreciated our NOBEL\u201d cause in the struggle to get rid of  the Sri Lanka Muslim Community of MUNAAFIKK\u201d Muslim politicians, Civil Society  groups and the deceptive ULEMA, the ACJU, Alhamdulillah. We will therefore  continue our Nobel mission till we achieve the end political goal of creating a  NEW POLITICAL FORCE that will be honest and sincere and FREE OF  CORRUPTION\u00a0<strong>willing to work with the majority community<\/strong>, to stand up and  defend the Muslim Community politically and otherwise, especially from among the  YOUTH. This will have to emerge from within the Sri Lanka Muslim Community to  face any new general election expected to take place in April\/May 2020, Insha  Allah. <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Noor Nizam, Peace and Political Activist, Political Communication Researcher, SLPP Stalwart and Convener &#8211; The Muslim Voice, SRI LANKA MUSLIM VOTE BANK MUST HAVE THE COURAGE TO FACE THE TRUTH.
