The Hon. K. Kader Masthan
K. Kader Masthan urged the Minister to ensure the prompt release of Qur’an copies that had been detained in the aftermath of the Easter Sunday attacks. He said the Muslim community, also affected by those attacks, expects a transparent and fair approach, setting aside past pretexts used to withhold the copies.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, Hon. Minister Bimal Rathnayake has often said here that the Muslim community is among those most affected by the Easter Sunday attacks. We do not know how the committee then decided, but people expect a clean approach from you. On that basis, setting aside past incidents used as pretexts to detain these Qur’an copies, the expectation of Sri Lankan Muslims is that they be released quickly. We expect your response to align with that.
