¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to speak on the Vote of Condolence regarding former Member Dr. I. M. Ilyas. Though born and raised in Puttalam District, he represented Jaffna District and did immense service to the displaced people who had come to Puttalam, bringing a great change to their lives. As a doctor, he provided free medical services. In 1990, when people were displaced, he helped them and earned their respect and support. His demise is a loss not only to Muslims but to all.

¶ 02 He also contested presidential elections and took part in democratic processes. His death is a significant loss to his family and the Muslim community. Finally, I express our condolences to his family. Thank you. Wassalaam!
