SLMC flays NPP govt. over its stand on Israeli aggression

Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) leader Rauff Hakeem, MP, has lambasted the National People's Power (NPP) government's stand on the US-backed Israel military campaign against the Palestinians.

- 

Attorney-at-Law Hakeem declared that the recent statement issued by the Foreign Ministry, on behalf of the NPP on the Israeli attack aimed at Hamas political leadership, was nothing but a disgrace.

Israel carried out the attack on Hamas leadership last Tuesday (09).

The following is the text of statement issued by the SLMC leader: “At the time of Israel's recent attack on Qatar, I was in Tehran, Iran, attending the World Islamic Solidarity Conference on Palestine, which was attended by representatives from more than 50 countries.

While returning from there, that I came across a statement issued by the Sri Lankan Ministry of Foreign Affairs following Israel's attack on Qatar.

Sri Lanka's Foreign Ministry has demonstrated once again not just how incapable it is or distinguish between an Occupier and the Occupied, or between an air attack and incident, or even worse, between a mercenary behaviour and solidarity with victims.
