UNP MP Mujibur Rahman said yesterday he was ashamed to remain in the government as it had been unable to take any action to stem racism during the past two and half years.
He told parliament that he had requested the President, the Prime Minister and the Law and Order Minister to take an action on the attacks against Muslims.
"I complained several times to police headquarters regarding this racism. I requested the President at group meetings to take action. But unfortunately as a government, we have done nothing to stop this situation," the MP said.
He said he had struggled as a member of the government to put a stop to this racist and extremist developments in the country but it was not done and had now ended up in communal clash in Kandy.
"This incident did not happen overnight. It was done after years of planning. There is a political agenda behind this. But as a government, why do we allow such people to do so. Why can't we take action against them," the MP asked.
He said the state intelligence services which were able to locate the hideout of Pottu Amman and Prabhakaran were unable to locate the whereabouts of leaders of the extremist elements even after two and half years.
He said those who complain about Muslim extremism should reveal the names of those spreading Muslim extremism. (Ajith Siriwardana)

If he wants, he can give his salary to muslims as elected by Muslim voters

I am sure you will be under pressure. BUT PLEASE DON'T. Being in the Parliament you could atleast make your voice heard. Normal voters have no voice, no matter how hard they shout.
LALITH Saturday, 10 March 2018 01:46 PM

Razeen Saturday, 10 March 2018 01:52 PM
You are the true leader of Muslims. Foam a party includes all ethnic groups. Don’t trust RW. He has hidden agenda. .

He didn't come through the back door and demand the President to form a SLFP government with the help of JO
Harith Saturday, 10 March 2018 03:27 PM
The first name that comes to mind is Minister Rishad. By clearing the Wilpattu forest and allowing his voters to settle he has created so much of unrest with other communities. Here you go Sir, now let's see what you do about him. If you are truly concerned please investigate this as well.

It was done with Mahinda's blessing
Mhf Saturday, 10 March 2018 05:20 PM
There was no deforestation. People were allowed to go back to their own lands. What you should be crowing about though is the Matt ala Airport built on a sanctuary. How come no one talks about that?
CNJ Saturday, 10 March 2018 03:40 PM
Empty words...how can you leave the prize of being UNP organiser for Colombo Central !!
Angodaya Saturday, 10 March 2018 04:37 PM
We are also ashamed by Voting for you people.
Imran Saturday, 10 March 2018 04:40 PM
I am respecting your concern about our community. At least you spoke about. Truth will win one day....
sas Saturday, 10 March 2018 07:48 PM
I am a Buddhist. I totally agree with you.The organisations like Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) should be tamed.
Buddhist Saturday, 10 March 2018 07:49 PM
Demand Presidential Commission of inquiry.
Laksiri Fernando Saturday, 10 March 2018 08:43 PM
What have you done to put a stop to racist and extremist developments in the country. Have you taken any action to at least identify Muslim extremist ?
Dennis Reeves Saturday, 10 March 2018 08:51 PM
You must get out from UNP and join MS. RW wanted to avoid No confidence motion and cased these problems with his henchmen.
Murshid Mohamed Hajiar Saturday, 10 March 2018 08:52 PM
Before Ranil kicks you out, better cross over SLFP, that will be a wise decision.
Atha Katha Keerthiratne Fernando Saturday, 10 March 2018 09:20 PM
No right man who talks cannot work with Ranil, if you say 1 3 = 6, you will have to say 6, other-wise he will take revenge, same thing will happened to you soon, better get out soon with respect.
Krishantha Saturday, 10 March 2018 09:30 PM
One of the stupidest and well biased MP in parliament from UNP list. HE always has only personal agendas and nothing of national interest. Only two instances he opens mouth is to safe guard SAITM (his daughter is in SAITM) and to favour muslims. Real UNP sinhalese should not cast their vites to these type of buffoons.
Ssb Saturday, 10 March 2018 10:41 PM
I agree. Im ashamed to live in a country where the politicians are afraid to bring justice to the criminals who start the violence. Instead of making statements, and begging for pity do something to put an end to this violence. Promote peace and first arrest those who killed the sinhalaese guy and those who killed the muslim guys and treat both crimes equally. Its the same crime
