Protect North-East residents - MNA

Muslim National Alliance (MNA) has appealed to the Government to take immediate steps to provide adequate protection to the people in the North and the East and to avoid further escalation of violence, a media release issued by the MNA said.

While condemning the killings of Kaththankudy Divisional Secretary Faleel, UNP Chief Organiser M.Mohideen and two other civilians in Mutur along with three other innocent Muslims at Thoppur and three Muslim businessmen at Irralkuly, the MNA has requested the Government to hold an inquiry into the killing of five Muslims on November 18 at the Kathankudy Grand Mosque.

Our people living in the area has informed of these incidents to us and this is very frightening. The Tamils and the Muslims have been living very cordially in this country for decades and they will not be separated under any circumstances," the media release added.

The media release has further emphasised the need to strengthen the cordial relationships all the communities which have enjoyed so far, to fight the escalating violence.

"We call upon the Government and the leaders of all communities specially in the North and the East to do their utmost to de-escalate the volatile situation before it aggravates any further," the media release said.
