"Politics is the last refuge of scoundrels". Rauf Hakim himself borrowed and quoted this once .

You can do all you can to point the finger at others to divert attention. Further, your clarification sounds like - when you want to eat it, a kabara goya is a thalagoya.

Sumal Friday, 12 November 2010 02:27 PM

Where you were when Moda fellows had their turns? Just see how many of them switched side in last and present parliament. Do not utter your racial tone in public forum.

Why foolmuslims are selecting them.

concors Friday, 12 November 2010 03:39 PM

geeedy dogs will lik any where.

Chandana Friday, 12 November 2010 04:19 PM

UNP, stop these nonsense at least now and organize the party as it was before 1977

nala3 Friday, 12 November 2010 04:34 PM

For whatever reasons we are living in a country without opposition! Very sad situation!!

demon Friday, 12 November 2010 05:15 PM

there's no point, wasting time and working with the UNP...it is not the actual opposition now...

remember many UNP MPs crossed over to the government...

apsara Friday, 12 November 2010 05:53 PM

How about Ranawake, Rajitha, Wimal and a long list of actors nicely joined with the Govt. only for the sake of them and forgot all previous idelogies.

vat hora Friday, 12 November 2010 10:34 PM

MK Friday, 12 November 2010 02:21 PM

Stop making racist remarks. their decision is nothing to do with their religion.

RUSHDI AL AYAD Friday, 12 November 2010 11:52 PM

as a miniroty community we have to depand on the ruling party we should join them, the oppersition is defunct with leaders like RA BLUE however Mr. Hakeem is joining for his own benifits he has not paid his house rent for 3 months

Fair n Square Saturday, 13 November 2010 01:28 AM

probably they learnt the phrase " If u can't beat em join em"

Mahroof Saturday, 13 November 2010 03:10 AM

true. well said MK . mahroof

malkanthi Saturday, 13 November 2010 04:03 AM

Any minority party should alliance with the ruling party, if they are to serve their community.

malkanthi Saturday, 13 November 2010 04:05 AM

The tamil parties too fall in the same line though not wearing a cap!

Anver Saturday, 13 November 2010 04:29 AM

No harm supporting any good moves by the govt. Joining it is obviously for personal gains and not through any love towards the Muslim community.

Najeem Saturday, 13 November 2010 05:35 AM

Could any one point out who has joined the ruling party for the future of the country.

hussain. Saturday, 13 November 2010 08:55 AM

If you are honest about sri lankas future you can support good moves of the government without switching side, this only for their personal gain , not for the community, Now what is your stand about imprisoning of General whom you ask to vote for from your community, will leave him in jail forever .Shame on you.

binladen Saturday, 13 November 2010 10:25 AM

The General said minorities have no place in the country. So I think you are the only Muslim who speaks in his favour. If you are so worried about him you should speak only for yourself and not on behalf of the entire community.

hussain. Saturday, 13 November 2010 10:47 AM

YES ,i agreed with I.Hussain's comment.

Above the crowd Friday, 12 November 2010 12:32 PM

Thoppiya haruna Paththata. Way to go boys ,get all what you can get.

Calistus Jayatilleke Friday, 12 November 2010 12:07 PM

The "Hat" has finally turned full circle : until kicked out once again. Asalam Aalaikkum!

spark Friday, 12 November 2010 12:09 PM

The muslim cap can be turned and kept on the head in any direction.

Karee Friday, 12 November 2010 12:10 PM

You guys are joinging Governemt.. What about EP Governor burned down muslims houses is East. SLMC is a bunch of Jokers in the Muslim community in Sri Lankan

steve Friday, 12 November 2010 12:12 PM

Traitors....

Aruna Friday, 12 November 2010 12:13 PM

Mad fellows

Top Sri Lankan Friday, 12 November 2010 12:14 PM

75% of the votes, which SLMC got were the UNP votes, so unfair.

Hirantha Friday, 12 November 2010 12:15 PM

something aka approve wela suba anagathayak.

M.H. Mohd Friday, 12 November 2010 12:23 PM

Its too Late & Mr. Dont allow them to join as they are coming for their goods (WASI) not for the country's future...

Siri Lanka Friday, 12 November 2010 12:26 PM

So what ? The decision was taken long time ago..

pandula Friday, 12 November 2010 12:28 PM

what to do? You are now becoming real patriot for MRs second term. Wecome to MRnd Goons.

Smart Aleck Friday, 12 November 2010 12:04 PM

Yes! And jump when the going gets difficult for the government.

Dhammika Friday, 12 November 2010 12:58 PM

Disgusting but we deserve this as we believe politicians although they are the biggest frauds in society.
Politicians of all colours should be boycotted by the public

MRMF Friday, 12 November 2010 01:06 PM

SLMC shows its usual colours-They think they call the shots and they very well know we voters are gullible.Keep it up SLMC

shihan Friday, 12 November 2010 01:13 PM

This is good lesson for UNP... next time go without these pepoles..be strong as a party..

bigsam Friday, 12 November 2010 01:20 PM

What change in the leadership or policy in either the govt. or the opposition has taken place to warrant this decision?

pissu balla Friday, 12 November 2010 01:20 PM

Hakeem the traitor becomes a patriot now.

Musthafa Friday, 12 November 2010 01:24 PM

You guys have no money to pump fuel for the car, so only way to joint with Goverment.

Neutral Friday, 12 November 2010 01:32 PM

Calistus & Spark , Dont put a Racial tag on this issue, as there are other jokers too done the same thing {from other communities]. All we know that SLMC has extended to support MR on 18 amendment, months back, by that time they have shown their stand.

Ruwan Ferdinandez Friday, 12 November 2010 01:44 PM

The new cabinet will be sworn in soon and if they don't accept portfolios now, they ill ahve to sit n the opposition just protesting for another 6 years the least. This is the way to develop the country and to make their presence felt!Not everybody wants to end up like Ranil!

Minister Friday, 12 November 2010 02:00 PM

Soon they will be kicked out, and then they will knock on the Sirikotha door. Thats what happened always.

I Hussein Friday, 12 November 2010 02:19 PM

Muslims should stop voting to SLMC as the war is over and its presence is not required ant more.
In fact people in general must stop voting to all religious based parties. They are an obstacle for country's development under any government.
