Several Muslim Organizations in the
country have profusely condemned the United National Party
Parliamentarian Ranjan Ramanayake for remarks made by him during the 3rd
reading debate of the votes of the Ministry of Foreign Employment
Development in the parliament last week.
They have demanded that Ramanayake
should make an unconditional apology from the Muslim community in Sri
Lanka for his vituperative statement about the Shariah Law.
Ramanayake said that the Shariah Law is
barbarous and Sri Lanka should stop sending Sri Lankans for employment
in Saudi Arabia which is practising the Shariah Law.
On the very day of this statement made
by Ramanayake, the UPFA Parliamentarian Mrs. Upeksha Swarnamali also
condemned the remarks made by Ramanayake. The UNP Parliamentarian Kabir
Hashim also condemned yesterday Ramanayake’s statement in Parliament
and said that Ramanayake should have condemned the monarchic rule of
Saudi Arabia instead of condemning the Shariah Law. (niz).
