கிழக்கு மாகாணத்தை, வடக்குடன் பலவந்தமாக இணைக்க முடியாது - முஜிபுர் ரஹ்மான்
கிழக்கு மாகாணத்தை வடக்குடன் பலவந்தமாக இணைக்க முடியாது. அவ்வாறு இணைப்பதாயின் கிழக்கு மாகாண மக்களின் விருப்பை அறிந்து கொள்வதற்காக சர்வஜன வாக்கெடுப்பினை நடத்த வேண்டும் என கொழும்பு மாவட்ட ஐக்கிய தேசியக் கட்சி பாராளுமன்ற உறுப்பினர் முஜிபுர் ரஹ்மான் கோரிக்கை விடுத்தார்.
எவ்வாறாயினும் கிழக்கு மாகாண மக்கள் வடகிழக்கு இணைப்பை ஒருபோதும் விரும்பமாட்டார்கள். நாட்டில் இனவாத தூண்டும் வகையில் முன்னாள் ஜனாதிபதி மஹிந்த ராஜபக்ஷவும் வடக்கு மாகாண சபையின் முதலமைச்சர் சி.வி விக்கினேஸ்வரனும் அரசியல் சாணக்கிய நாடகத்தை அரகேற்றுவதாகவும் அவர் குற்றம் சுமத்தினார்.
புறகோட்டேயில் அமைந்துள்ள ஐக்கிய தேசியக் கட்சியின் தலைமையமான சிறிகொத்தாவில் இன்று நடைபெற்ற ஊடகவியலாளர் மாநாட்டில் கலந்து கொண்டு கருத்து வெளியிடுகையிலேயே அவர் மேற்கண்டவாறு தெரிவித்தார்.
These politicians will stage dramas by releasing "press statements" because all of them have been well taken care by the Yahapalana government and the foreign interests who are giving them large amounts of funding to keep their mouth shut. These are Muslim politicians who DO NOT HAVE A POLITICAL PRINCIPLE OR IDEALOGY. For their personal gains, they will do anything trying to show the Muslims that they are the “SAVIOURS” of the community, but “DECEPTION” is what they do, all of them. Their objective is to dupe the Muslim voters and get their votes by deceiving the poor Muslims during elections and become elected and then do NOTHING to the community. This is another “MEDIA DRAMA” staged by MP. Mujeebu Rahuman. Muslims should never go in for an amalgamation of the North and East as one district/Province. The Muslims in the North-East have suffered very much and lost a lot under the administrative power of Tamil Government Servants/government officials and the dominating Tamil political parties since independence. The Muslims in the North and East were treated as second class citizens. With the advent of the LTTE, it became much worst, till May 2009. The Colombo Muslims or Muslims who live outside the North and East did not feel the oppressions, because they were administered by the Sinhalese administrators/government officials who were communal too, but considerate.
ReplyDeleteOn 2 and 8 September 1988 President Jayewardene issued proclamations enabling the Northern and Eastern provinces to be one administrative unit administered by one elected Council. The North Eastern Province was born. The proclamations were only meant to be a temporary measure until a referendum was held in the Eastern Province on a permanent merger between the two provinces. However, the referendum was never held and successive Sri Lankan presidents have issued proclamations annually extending the life of the "temporary" entity.
The merger was bitterly opposed by Sri Lankan nationalists. The combined North Eastern Province occupied one fourth of Sri Lanka. On 14 July 2006, the JVP filed three separate petitions with the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka requesting a separate Provincial Council for the East. On 16 October 2006 the Supreme Court ruled that the proclamations issued by President Jayewardene were null and void and had no legal effect. The Eastern Province was formally born on 1 January 2007. SINCE THEN, the Muslims in the Eastern Province have some form of FREEDOM and enjoy FUNDAMENTAL and POLITICAL RIGHTS. Muslims of the Eastern Province should OPPOSE a demerger of the North and Eastern Provinces at any cost, Insha Allah. Muslims should NOT at any stage consider the political “CROCODILE TEARS” of R. Sambandan and the TNA, Insha Allah. This comment column is not enough to list the administrative and political atrocities the Tamil politicians and the TNA/ITAK had done to the Muslims in the Eastern Province since Independence. The above content is NOT communal or racists but the TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH, Insha Allah.
