Govt. thugs denying Muslims' voting right - Hakeem

SLMC leader and chief ministerial candidate Rauff Hakeem says groups of thugs in the employ of several government ministers are terrorizing areas with a decisive Muslim voter base.
He told 'Lanka Dissent' a short while ago that the government was trying to prevent votes being cast to the SLMC in Mutur, Thambalagamuwa, Thoppur, Jinnarnagar, Asathnagar and Irakkandy areas.Despite complaints by the party and himself that more than 200 thugs are terrorizing the district, police have not taken any action, Mr. Hakeem said.
