Muslim MPs write to President demanding justice

Several legislators of the Musilm Parliamentarians Forum has written a letter to President Maithripala Sirisena on the continued hate campaign against the Muslims by the Bodhu Bala Sena.

The letter signed by 21 MPs representing different political parties in the Muslim Parliamentarians Forum has demanded justice for the Blasphemy of their God Almighty Allah by Buddhist monk Ven. Galagoda Atte Gnanasara Thero.

This is the second time the Muslim parliamentarians have banded together to protest against government inaction on hate campaigns. Such a letter was previously sent to former President Mahinda Rajapaksa over the unrest in Aluthgama during the former regime.

However, at the time, MPs A H M Azwer and the late Abdul Cader of Kandy had reportedly refused to sign the Aluthgama petition claiming it was politically motivated.
