> Mr.J.A.Rafeek, addressing the gathering after prayers

> District Task Force in the Trincomalee district has

> In Trincomalee district 70 percent of the dead and 65
> percent of displaced and rendered homeless were
> Muslims. But the government authorities overlooked the
> Muslims when appointing members to the District Task
> Force and its five sub-committees. Not a single Muslim
> representative was appointed to such institutions,
> which are engaged in implementing relief, and
> reconstruction work in tsunami affected areas in the
> district, he said.
>
> It is a pity to note that Muslim political leaders in
> the district are not capable of exerting their
> pressure on the government to appoint a Muslim
> representative to the DTF, he added.
