23rd Anniversary Of Northern Muslim Exodus In Sri Lanka
by Rifai
( October 28, 2013, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Sri Lankan Muslims of Northern Province still vividly remember those dark days in their life. It was at the end of October 1990 that Muslims of Northern provinces were abruptly asked to leave their own homes and properties within the time limits of few hours. They were also asked not to take any valuable items with them. They were not allowed to take even their hard earned money or jewelleries. They were not allowed to sell their properties and belongings to anyone. They were asked to leave their native villages empty handed. They were forced to evacuate their native place of birth with cloths that they were wearing. This happened in this so called modern civilised world.
