Presidential Spokesman Bandula Jayasekera said that Sri Lanka Muslim Congress did not get the blessing of President Mahinda Rajapaksa before going alone for the forthcoming Eastern Province Provincial Council election.

Despite its previous decision to contest the EP polls under the UPFA banner, the SLMC yesterday decided to contest the elections separately

Apsara,
What is wrong with Ravi's comment ?
It is well known that those who wear the cap for religious reasons remove their caps when uttering a lie and then replace
them.
If you study the history of Ceylon politics and cross overs to another party you will understand

Is it a must that you should have the President's blessings to do things your own way. Cannot the SLMC win seats without his patronage.

Again, Hakeem is covering his behind just so in case he loses he can still sit with the Prez.

why president doing politics in regional elections ? if everybody join UPFA then it is not a election for the people to elect their representatives.

kirihami Thursday, 19 July 2012 05:52 AM

Why President's blessing for election, it is people's power and democratry and no need President's blessing.

Imran Hussein Thursday, 19 July 2012 05:39 AM

Another blatant lie to fool the people.
Rauf would be behind bars if there is no blessings.

Minister Thursday, 19 July 2012 05:44 AM

Why should the SLMC get the blessings of the President when he had done nothing for the Muslim community rather create problems.
