Moulana wields axe at Mervyn

19 Sep 2011 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Western Province Governor and Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) veteran Alavi Moulana warned today that Minister Mervyn Silva would face major problems if he tried to stop the animal sacrifices that will be performed by the Muslim community on the eve of the Haj festival.

“If Minister Mervyn Silva who prevented the ritualistic animal sacrifice at a temple in Chilaw tries his antics on the Muslims who will sacrifice animals for Kurban, they will take to the streets in protest,” he said.

He said people of other races were also ready to support Muslims on this issue.

“Minister Silva by his antics is only playing into the hands of foreign powers trying to destabilise our country,” Mr. Moulana said.

Meanwhile Minister Mervyn Silva told a meeting at Kelaniya that anyone who attempted to kill animals would have their hands chopped off. (Rifthi Ali)
