All Ceylon Muslim Congress Leader and Minister Rishard Bathiudeen and MP Ameer Ali pledged their support to common opposition’s presidential candidate Maithripala Sirisena a short while ago.

The minister and the MP along with many other ACMC members arrived at the Opposition Leaders Office and are in a news briefing being held with the participation of UNP National Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe and former President Chandrika Kumaratunga.

Bathiudeen is a smart businessman! Nothing more needs to be said! But if that Ali had atleast a semblance of dignity he should have resigned from his ministership and told the government to shove it without deceiving a fellow Muslim!So much for principles!
