Muslim voters for UPFA - Azwer

There is a clear indication that the Muslim voters are going to vote for the UPFA in the Central and North Western Provincial elections, Presidential Advisor and former Minister A.H.M. Azwer said.

He was addressing several meetings in Dewahuwa, Galewela, Bulnewa, Anathagama. Matale town and several other places in the Matale district in support of the UPFA candidates contesting the forthcoming Provincial Council Elections.

There is evidently a change in the political thinking of the Muslims largely in the rural areas. The Muslim Chinthanaya is now synchronised with the Mahinda Chintanaya, he said.

“President Mahinda Rajapaksa is giving the Sri Lankans peace, prosperity and progress. World history on wars and war strategies will have to be re-written in this 21st Century consequent to the humanitarian mission carried on in the North by the Head of Sri Lankan State,” he said .

After educating the Muslim population, the stand taken by President Mahinda Rajapaksa on Muslim issues and on International Islamic issues, the Muslims have now gradually shifted their alliance towards the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.

They could never forget the great service rendered by Badiudeen Mahumud in bringing about a great renaissance in the educational field.

A large number of prominent UNPers are now contesting under the betel symbol in the two Provincial Council elections. All Muslim leaders have now joined hands with President Rajapaksa leaving behind the blindfold policies of Ranil Wickremesinghe, he said.
