Separate presidential commission for Muslims – SLMC
The SLMC has c
alled for a separate presidential commission for Muslims. Its general secretary Hasan Ali has told BBC Tamil Service the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission only had a limited mandate and covered a limited period.
Mandated to cover the period between 2002 and 2009, it won’t be in any way helpful in addressing the issues faced by the Muslims since 1990, he has said. Mr. Ali has said the SLMC planned to meet president Mahinda Rajapaksa in the coming days to discuss expanding the commission’s mandate.
