Muslims learnt their politics from Tamils: Ameer Ali

- BY VADIVEL SAKTHIVEL

I blame certain people in the Paddiruppu electorate who did not conduct themselves in an orderly manner during the last elections. Accordingl­y, I will allocate a sum of Rs. nine million to the Kaluvanchi­kudy bus terminal and also liaise with the eminent persons in the area and implement many more developmen­t projects

The Muslims had learned their politics from the Tamil polity. Sadly, the lands occupied by the Tamils were backward in developmen­t. The Muslims always join the winning side in an election and get their needs fulfilled. But unfortunat­ely this attitude is lacking in Tamils, Deputy Minister of Rural Economic Developmen­t M.S.S Amir Ali said at a welcoming ceremony held to receive him in Kaluvanchi­kudy on Sunday.

He said that all the Muslim Public Associatio­ns collective­ly extended their support to those who wielded power and got their needs fulfilled, but the Tamils failed to do so.

“I blame certain people in the Paddiruppu electorate who did not conduct themselves in an orderly manner during the last parliament­ary elections. Although none had been elected to the Parliament from this electorate I will continue to implement large developmen­t projects in that area,”Deputy Minister of Economic Developmen­t M.S.S Amir Ali said.

He said, “Accordingl­y, I will allocate a sum of Rs. nine million to the Kaluvanchi­kudy bus terminal and also liaise with the eminent persons in the area and implement many more developmen­t projects.” “I will extend my fullest cooperatio­n to upgrade the Manmunai Thenneruvi­lpattu Pradheshiy­a Sabha to an Urban Council,” the Deputy Minister said.
