Continuing Ferial Ashraff said people of all communities especially in the coastal belt of Ampara District were fortunate in having the service of the late Leader of SLMC Al-Haj M.H.M. Ashraff, who was above racial, social and political bias. But the people of the area are now highly worried over on the activities of Rauff Hakeem. He has immensely damaged the SLMC in various ways.
