Muslims' future secure only with Govt tie - up - Hisbullah Calls Hakeem a traitor
Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) stalwart M.L.M. Hisbullah said yesterday that it was only by joining hands with the Government that the Muslims of the East could aspire to have a Chief Minister from the Muslim community.
Addressing the media, Hisbullah said a gathering of Muslim politicians, Ulamas (religious leaders), scholars and other eminent persons from the Muslim community had decided to contest the forthcoming Eastern Provincial Council election jointly with the UPFA to elect a Muslim Chief Minister for the Eastern Province, under the Betel Leaf symbol.
He said had SLMC leader A. H. M. Ashraff been alive, he would have considered the present leader Rauf Hakeem a traitor.
"The SLMC was formed by Ashraff to represent Muslims in Parliament. He (Ashraff) had a desire to see the appointment of a Muslim Chief Minister and this could be secured only from the Eastern Province," Hisbullah said. However, he said Hakeem had become a traitor of the Muslims.
