Muslims then were referred to as thambis and as a racial group identfied by the fez as worn by iranis which was banned by an Irnian politician along with the arabic alphabet overnight in an effort to westernise persian cultural values.
so in the 50s muslim political thinking was seen analogous to the fez which was worn anyhow for it is round. The only changes is that the fez is gone but not the political thinking. For once muslims are wrong for UNP will face a resounding defeat in an election.

August is a critical time for our nation.
The UNP is meeting on the 5th to announce its coalition.
The SLPP is meeting on the 11th to induct MR as the boss of SLPP and also, announce its Presidential Candidate.
Anyone from the SLFP including MR who joins SLPP will lose their seat in Parliament.
Sirisena, as the lame duck leader of the SLFP, has no say whatsoever in forward movements.
A majority of SLFPers are likely to join the UNP as they have no future whatsoever in the SLFP.
The SLFPers may officially coalesce with SLPP but will be sent to the backrooms by the loud mouthed bully-boys in the SLPP.
The UNP is a better place to be in for the SLFPers.
MR Family is struggling with the Presidential Candidate announcement; MR may go for a lame duck (not Sirisena) to protect his family’s future in interests.
Even-though the politicos plays such dramas, power is with the people. They have all the rights to reject them.
Make sure that no respect given as ministers to those and do not attend to any events that they are participating.
Media personals has a big role to play here.
