A fast is currently underway against the Sri Lanka Muslin Congress (SLMC) leadership since early this morning in Islamabad, Kalmunai.

They had protested the non inclusion of a candidate from the Islamabad area in the SLMC nomination list for the Kalmunai Municipal Council (KMC) election, which will be held on October 8.

Earlier P. T. Uthuma Lebbe alias Jamaal, a resident of Islamabad was elected a member of the KMC. (S. M. M. Ramsan)

Rauff Hakeem has to be chased out of the SLMC if the muslims are to develop their identity. He is the most corrupt SLMC politician ever. He has even gone against General Fonseka . It is in his presence the general was manhandled like a criminal by the govt and arrested. Yet he let the side down by crossing over to the govt.

Whoever wants to fast to death should be allowed to do so. He doesn't value his life; thus wouldn't value others'
We should not follow India in this regard.

Dear badam,
Y? don't you get Lumbini in Kirulapone?

Calistus Jayatilleke Tuesday, 06 September 2011 01:54 PM
