The Secretary of the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) and member of Parliament, Nizam Kariapper PC, yesterday slammed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sri Lanka, for its three-liner media-release on Friday, March 21, 2025, in reference to the escalation of bombardment and humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza in the Tamil media. He called it a mere hoodwink.
Mr Kariapper PC added that this so-called statement by the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) does not contain a single word of condemnaition of the relentless airstrikes and mass killings of the people of Gaza by Israel and its atrocities which continues with the tacit support of the US government.
It is “shocking and disappointing,” Mr Kariapper PC added that while various countries are condemning the atrocities of Israel on the people of Palestine, the GoSL, has simply released an eye-wash of a media release on Friday (21) sans no authority’s signature, falsely trying to appease to the Muslims of this country.
In the holy month of Ramadan, while the Palestinians are facing genocide amidst various hardships, Israel continues massive attacks killing hundreds of people in Gaza with impunity against all humanitarian and international laws.
The Leader of Sri Lanka Muslim Congress, Rauff Hakeem too has earlier issued a statement condemning the attacks on the Palestinians and spoke in Parliament about the atrocities appealing to the GoSL and the international community for support. He also pointed out that the Sri Lankan government has not made any attempt to condemn this (Sri Lanka Muslim Congress Media Unit)
