SLMC should heed to the voice of its voters -Azath Salley
(Lanka-e-News- 10.Sep.2012, 3.00PM) A strong and clear message has been given to the government by the people of the eastern province . I have achieved what I set out to do.The true feelings of the people of the East has to be felt by the government.

I resigned my seat in the Colombo municipal Council as the government was continuously ignoring the feelings of the minority community .

The leader of the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress invited me to contest this election and campaign for the tree symbol. I campaigned in all three districts for the party with the clear objective of achieving my goal. Despite this the people of Batticaloa District have placed me in the 2nd position in the SLMC list. This is an honour considering the achievements of those who attempted this in the past.

This Government has no mandate to govern this province . 400,000 people have rejected the governemnt of His Exellency Mahinda Rajapakse .UPFA was able to get only 200044 votes against the three major parties in the province which is as follows 
ITAK. 193827
SLMC. 132917
UNP. 74901
-----------------------
Total 401645
-----------------------
UNP has decided to give unconditional support to the TNA. TNA is willing to concede the Chief Minister's post to the Muslims. The SLMC must accept this and show the world that we can work together without the support of the government.

This is a great opportunity for both tamil and muslim communities to work together. The aspirations of both communities will be met by this move.

The SLMC should heed to the voice of its voters.
