UPFA Provincial Council member Najeeb A. Majeed was sworn in as the Chief Minister of the Eastern Province, before President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the temple Trees a short while ago, sources said.

They said, following the SLMC's decision to support the government in the Eastern Provincial Council, the government had named Majeed for the post with the approval from all the stakeholders.

 It was also decided to offer two Ministerial Portfolios to the SLMC.

Meanwhile Minister Rauff Hakeem met the newly appointed Eastern Province Chief Minister Majeed in Colombo on Tuesday.

    Who said politicians are like monkeys? - 'The higher they climb the more revolting are the parts they expose'.

    Yes i think it was a purely safe decision definitely the president gota and wimal would have plotted and would have have killed him if he goes with TNA

    Ahmad Tuesday, 18 September 2012 11:29 AM

    Hakeem has done a blunder and irreversible damage to community.

    Apsara Tuesday, 18 September 2012 11:15 AM

    Good decision. If Hakeem didn't support Govt., certainly he will be harmed and needs to loose all ministerial position with center. Also if he join hand with TNA and get a CM post for a muslim again his hands will be tied and difficult to trust TNA as well.

    Do not remember National Tamil Aliance was a part of LTTE.
    Hakeem understood that.

    We were telling this from the bigining. Political shows never end!!!

    One required thing in democracy is that once a mandate is given, it should be accepted by all....So in a chequered mandate like this, one option is to go for another poll and accept the reality....! Democracy should be given time to get maturity.

    Cynic Tuesday, 18 September 2012 09:03 AM

    Congratulations to billionnaire Hakeem. To hell with principles.

    Maravan Tuesday, 18 September 2012 09:54 AM

    Now we feel why tat was happend then....????

    Sando Tuesday, 18 September 2012 09:53 AM

    Very good decision Mr. Hakeem being a minority its a vice move to join hand with the ruling party to safe gourd the Muslims interests in the east.

    M.M.Aliyar Tuesday, 18 September 2012 09:40 AM

    We already knew this story. Hakeem is known for this sort of strategy. He should have thought" Ameer Ali may become popular once he became CM and will be a threat to him in the East". Going with TNA will bring nothing to him as well as to the community. Good decision but it is against the mandate given by SLMC voters. Will SLMC voters realize this? I do not think so.

    ROSHAN Tuesday, 18 September 2012 09:40 AM

    Shame shame hakeem will his community for sake of his own
    benefits

    raymond Tuesday, 18 September 2012 09:25 AM

    WELL DONE HAKEEM YOU SOLD THE MINORITY COMMUNITY FOR A SONG. A GOVT CALLED U A COMMUNAL BASTARD N NOW YOU MIGHT EVEN SELL YOUR MOTHER FOR YOUR BENEFIT. ALMIGHTY ALLAH WILL PUNISH YOU THAT IS FOR SURE, WHERE IS FAIZER MUSTAPHA WHO ATTACKED THE SLMC FOR COMMUNAL. GOD BLESS SRI LANKA
