The Hon. Mohamed Sali Naleem
Mohamed Sali Naleem requested that land be provided to Muslim journalists and called for increased Budget allocations and development projects for the Eastern Province. He cited strong Muslim electoral support for the National People’s Power, including over 80,000 votes in Ampara District, as context for the request.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, please grant me one minute.
¶ 02 I request that land also be provided to Muslim journalists. In the last election, nearly 70 percent of Muslims in this country voted for the National People’s Power; in Ampara District alone, over 80,000 Muslims voted thus. Therefore, through this Budget, allocate more funds to the Eastern Province and implement development projects there. With that request, I conclude. Thank you.
