Hisbullah invites Anver Ismail for an open debate

‘Deputy Minister Anver Ismail, who continuously abused the SLMC and its leadership, is now criticising the agreement that had been signed between the UNP and the SLMC' said former deputy Minister Hisbullah who re-joined the SLMC this week. He challenged Anver Ismail to come for an open debate on the issues, instead of spreading misleading information among the masses.
Hisbullah posed this challenge when he was addressing an election rally held in support of UNP presidential candidate Ranil Wickremasinghe by the SLMC in Sammanhurai on Saturday (140/10).

He said that it was to protect the rights of the Muslims he had re-joined the party and it was for the same reason the SLMC decided to ally with the UNP during the presidential election.

"The SLMC leader had entered into a very clear agreement with Mr. Ranil Wickremasinghe. If we are to win our rights and aspirations as a community we must ensure the victory of Mr. Wickremasinghe who accepted the political rights of Muslims" he said.
