Dear Mr. President,
People welcome that you clearly spoke against those who incite communal intolerance time and again and your Tweet messages from Bolivia to investigate the incidents happened on 15 June 2016 in Aluthgama and Beruwala. However, actions speak louder than words.
As a concerned citizen of this nation, it is my duty to inform prudently to act immediately and decisively to counter the increasingly venomous and strident anti-Muslim hate campaign launched extremist groups claiming to represent the peace loving Buddhists. As you are aware, this campaign has intensified over the past year and finally reached to bloodshed in Aluthgama due to the total negligence of the security establishments.
The country has witnessed attacks against mosques, and the circulation, on social media, public posters and web-sites, of obscene and vituperative messages that are offensive to religious beliefs. It has witnessed anti-Muslim public rallies and processions, including a call to boycott Muslim business establishments. But that has now reached to a point of no return.
The government has not up to now taken any decisive or concrete measures to stem the current hate campaign or to reassure the Muslim community of its rightful place in this society.
The primary responsibility of removing such threats and reassuring the community under attack is with the government. The people elect the President and other representatives in the expectation that they will ensure an environment in which all citizens can live assured of their human rights including equality, personal security, dignity and religious freedom. Failure of a government to provide this is a serious breach of its responsibilities and has, in the past, had tragic consequences for our country and our people as it has been witnessed throughout the history.
A steadfast and resolute action, rising above narrow identity politics, can safeguard the peace and further an environment of communal harmony and security in our country.
After a commendable effort to end a separatist war, it’s time for this country to unite its people and turn towards prosperity. However, a negative and neglecting approach will result in another conflict by which this nation will not be able to survive.
Yours sincerely,
