UNP trying to create division among Muslims - Cader

The politically bankrupt UNP is trying to create divisions within the Muslim community to attain short term selfish goals, Environment Deputy Minister Abdul Cader said yesterday.

He said that the UNP which was facing imminent defeat at the forthcoming local polls, was now trying to flare up divisions within the Muslim community, by spreading false rumours to gain petty political mileage. He urged Muslims not to be misled by such rumours.

He predicted a comfortable victory for the UPFA including the traditional UNP strongholds Colombo and Kandy, where there is a large presence of Muslim voters.

The deputy minister said that repeated blunders and defeats by the UNP had resulted in the party cadre losing confidence in its ability to fulfill their expectations.

This had resulted in a large number of Muslims leaving the UNP including a number of prominent leaders. The deputy minister who himself left the UNP, pointed out that even the SLMC had joined the government.

He called upon all Muslims to support the UPFA and vote for the 'Betel Leaf' at the polls, in the interest of their region's future development and progress and welfare of its people.

The deputy minister said that the government had taken steps to restore destroyed mosques in the North and East, resettle evicted Muslims in their native lands, and also had fully supported to enhance pilgrimages of Muslims.

He recalled that it was the government led by President Mahinda Rajapaksa which paved the way for all communities to live in unity, friendship and harmony by defeating the forces of terror.
