Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC), an ally of the government, will go solo at western and southern provincial council’s election as they did at the previous elections, party officials said today.

The government is planning to dissolve the western and southern provincial councils on January 12, to have elections in March. The alliance partners of the ruling coalition are busy again with their politburo and central committee meetings to decide on the fielding of candidates under the betel symbol.

However, SLMC General Secretary M.T. Hasan Ali said, “We will have our High Command meeting during the first week of January. Our stand is that we should contest alone under our tree symbol. We did the same at last provincial councils”. Also, he said no party had invited them to contest together this time. (Kelum Bandara)

Yeah, they start blaming the government like what they did in the east, and get seats as long as foos like us vote them, and then bargain or beg with the government and be part of government. The circus continues...

Separatism should not be encouraged in this Island with a diverse population of 20 million. if we are to stop separatism, bearing the names of religion and language for Political parties, companies, societies, communities, all sign sign boards used by streets, roads, restaurants, shops, any business enterprises and any places need to be banned.
