Ask the voters in the Kandy district about your decision. You will be kicked out of Kandy District at the next elections, You might get the kick from the top once the Constitution is passed

Malin Abeyatunge Saturday, 28 August 2010 06:55 AM

Probably Rauff Hakeem is looking for ministerial portfolio.

Riff Saturday, 28 August 2010 07:42 AM

Well done Mr. Hakeem This is very good lesion to your colleagues who try to jump with government without you.

Ahmed Saturday, 28 August 2010 07:43 AM

gamini Saturday, 28 August 2010 08:17 AM

Boomerang Hakeem

You are a guy without any firm policy. To me you are another corrupt politician and you look for fame nothing else.

You want to be in the limelight all the time to show off.

Practical Saturday, 28 August 2010 10:41 AM

He might be eating hay soon :)

Practical Saturday, 28 August 2010 10:42 AM

Yes! Hakeem is the greediest fool I have ever seen.

Lal Ranarajay Saturday, 28 August 2010 05:39 AM

Ranil too has a good option. desolve UNP and join government ranks as deputy minister

Smart Aleck Saturday, 28 August 2010 10:52 AM

Former Leader Ashroff must be turning in his grave,

Ruwan Saturday, 28 August 2010 10:56 AM

We are heading to democratic desaster.

Sumal Saturday, 28 August 2010 11:15 AM

We know you have no options than this to keep the party intact.

leed Saturday, 28 August 2010 02:12 PM

Typical of srilankan politicians.Greed for money n power.No concern for the development of the counyry nor for the general public.

Human Saturday, 28 August 2010 02:48 PM

koneswaransaro Sunday, 29 August 2010 05:56 AM

That is Muslim Congress.

rana Friday, 27 August 2010 06:49 PM

Each and every MP who votes in favor of the extension of the executive presidency, is responsible for each and every misdeed of this government. They never think of the sufferings of the common man.

demon Friday, 27 August 2010 01:54 PM

further issues ??? you have no shame Mr hakeem...

Jay Friday, 27 August 2010 02:14 PM

Fool...he thinks the government will give him a position.

sw Friday, 27 August 2010 02:58 PM

Rauff Hakim is only looking after himself as usual.

Sri Lankan Friday, 27 August 2010 03:02 PM

A tragedy in the making.. but I doubt our fools will realise what they are about to set up..

Ibnu Batuta Friday, 27 August 2010 03:04 PM

It is foolish to oppose everything what the government does. Sensible decision. Should have done long before.

kamal Friday, 27 August 2010 03:05 PM

Rata Perata.....

Lal Friday, 27 August 2010 06:54 PM

Hakeem will be selected for the next Sri Lankan Olympic team! He has 'jumped' so much from party to party and he is one of the best 'jumpers' we have in the country!

Bonggo Friday, 27 August 2010 07:46 PM

Those who trusted you are the fools!

gregory Friday, 27 August 2010 08:14 PM

'Make hay while the sun shines!'

Mahmood Ashraf Friday, 27 August 2010 08:57 PM

Why do we need to have a Muslim party, when we are now one country?

Obama Friday, 27 August 2010 11:30 PM

Shame on you Hakeem. Your party is so full of opportunists!

Sri Lankan Friday, 27 August 2010 11:54 PM

Even without seeing the draft constitutional amendment, on what basis did you agree to support it?

Roshan Saturday, 28 August 2010 04:57 AM

Good desision. You should have done this long time back. UNP has no future.

AJ - DXB Saturday, 28 August 2010 05:38 AM

A mockery to late Ashraf
