Muslims have rights in North East

Muslims also have all rights that the Tamils have in the North East province, said the TNA Parliamentarian Sampanthan.

He said this while addressing the ceremony held to commemorate the 20 years of the declaration of the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress as a political party at the Basha Villa Hall of Colombo Dematagoda.

Muslims also have the same rights that of the Tamils. Nobody could erase the Tamil-Muslim unity likewise we should not give room to root out any community. Ashroff for Muslims was like Chelvanayagam for Tamils. They both fought for the unity, rights and respect of their people, he said further.

 Smapanthan is Tiger nominated MP, The LTTE dove the Muslims away from Jaffna in 1990 with only the clothes they were wearing. Till today they have not been resettled in Jaffna due to the Tiger. The Tigers have not permitted them to return to Jaffna. The Muslims are suffering in the refugee camps in the South. Does this MP have anything to say about this situation?
