We all signed one resignation letter – Haleem
Former Minister Parliamentarian MHM Haleem says all Muslim Ministers representing the government signed one letter informing the President of their decision to resign of Ministerial portfolios.
MP Haleem said the letter was directed to President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Social media reports stated that the President had not been officially informed via a letter of the Ministers decision to resign.
MP Kabir Hashim yesterday handed over his letter of resignation from his post as Minister to the Office of the Prime Minister and the Presidential Secretariat.
All Muslim Ministers of the government announced their decision to step down from their posts on Monday at a media breifing, noting they decided to resign with the aim of supporting all Defence Forces to carry out investigations over the Easter Sunday attacks expeditiously and transparently.
MP Rauff Hakeem addressing the breifing expressed their disappointment in the government over the failure to ensure the safety of the Muslim community in the aftermath of the Easter attacks.

There are many indications that Muslims are so aggressive and not willing to corporate with other ethnic groups in the country. Every country where Muslim people live has always tensions and problems.
All the leaders of the SRI LANKAN Muslim community have in one voice declared loud and clear that they stand for ‘ UNITY IN ADVERSITY’ under any circumstances.. Perhaps a very bold and brave stance.’
Rest of the community can now follow and pick up the cue from them and say ‘ Thank you for the lesson ,we also shall stand in unity and keep away from your (business) places and shall visit our own only .Let it be known that there is absolutely NO HATRED OR ANIMOSITY TOWARDS ANYONE in this simple call.
MUSLIMS my good neighbours shall remain friends for the rest of our lives.

That is indeed a great, admirable and national move, the resignation by all Muslim Ministers.
