He said in a statement, “India’s ruling party has teamed up with the ADIMK in South India. The latter had promised Eelam to Sri Lankan Tamils. The SJB is opposed to this move and will oppose any move by the Sri Lankan government to allow India to become a decisive force in Sri Lanka’s politics.”

On asking about the statement made by Former governor Azath Salley that Muslims in Sri Lanka should not respect other laws expect Islamic laws, the MP said Sri Lanka should have one law on which cultural values of all people are woven in.
