The head of Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s legal team President’s Counsel Ali Sabry is at the centre -of controversy, after he featured in a video clip that has gone viral, agreeing that Muslims would get “a massive thrashing” if they failed to vote for the former Defence Secretary.
The clip is doing the rounds in messaging groups, Facebook and Twitter.
Mohamed Ali Sabry with Gotabaya Rajapaksa | File photo
Addressing the crowd, the clip shows Ali Sabry PC saying that Gotabaya Rajapaksa had already won the election with Sinhala votes. Muslims must be a part of that victory, the senior lawyer told the small gathering. He then poses a rhetorical question to the crowd: “If we don’t support him, what will happen?”
Someone in the crowd replies “ambanaikku kidaikkum”. Loosely translated ambanaikku is derived from the Sinhala word ambane, meaning “a lot” or “massive” and “kidaikkum” meaning “will get”. In Sinhala, the phrase would be “Ambanakata hambuwei”.
As the crowd laughs nervously, the President’s Counsel aligned with Gotabaya guffaws and agrees: “Exactly! Ambanaikku kidaikkum that is exactly what will happen! We need to understand this, this is the reality”.
Following the storm of controversy, the President’s Counsel attempted to clarify things, claiming that the full clip which he claims shows him working with the local community and trying to win back confidence. “UNP realising they are losing Muslim votes have totally misquoted a comment from the crowd and attributing it to me” he said adding “desperate measures call for desperate measures.”
However several translators proficient in Tamil have insisted that the interpretation provided above is the correct one, and the implication that voting against Gotabaya Rajapaksa could result in violence being unleashed against the Muslims was also abundantly clear.
Multiple sources regularly in touch with Ali Sabry PC told Colombo Telegraph that this was a sentiment the head of Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s legal team repeatedly expresses in private communications with people, particularly Muslims who remain unconvinced about Rajapaksa’s candidacy. Ali Sabry PC has repeatedly told confidants that the only way Muslims can buy insurance about their safety is to ensure Rajapaksa does not feel he owed his victory purely to the Sinhalese people.
Ali Sabry has been at the forefront of discussions with Muslim community leaders, insisting to them that at least half of the Muslim community must vote for Gotabaya Rajapaksa to ensure they were stakeholders in his victory and minimise the chance of reprisals and pogroms under his watch, Colombo Telegraph learns. Some community leaders are convinced this may be the only strategy available to keep their people safe from harm post election, highly placed sources told Colombo Telegraph.

Dear Muslims, Sinhala and Tamils,
Please do NOT let yourself be intimidated and bullied by Gotabaya Rajapaksa or by any other candidate to vote for them . Ask them what they will do for you and the country.
Dear Muslims, based on the prior history and the recent intimidation, NO Muslim with sufficient IQ above 79, should vote for Goytabaya Rajapaksa. However, some Muslims like Ali Sabry and others with low IQ , will vote for Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
It is the same with Sinhala Buddhists. Low IQ , below 79, who can’t think, will vote for Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Others with common sense, IQ greater than 79, will NOT vote for Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
Who is this Gotabaya Rajapaksa Ali Sabri is talking about?

SLW 284 F M Sarath Fonseka
The wrong reasons are his threats. Then the Muslims should vote against him.
The right reasons reasons are that he is the most suitable candidate to transform the country. However, Gota is NOT the most unsuitable candidate. He left Sri Lanka in 1990, and if you want corruption nepotism and racism to prevail with the Rajapaksa Mafia, then , sipport him. Even those with mean IQ 79 and below will think twice, whether Muslims, Sinhala or Tamils of supporting him.
Gota will be lucky to have 50% of the Sinhala voting for him, mostly those with IQ’s below 79 and get 35% of the overall votes.
/
D. P. / October 29, 2019
I have serious doubt whether Ali Sabri can save Muslims from SLPP thugs if GoRa win. For example, look how SLFP was greeted with hoots even after deciding to supports GoRa. My point is this: Humiliating surrender is what SLPP expect from those who refused to accept SLPP’s dominance! Therefore, I think that Sabri’s statement has to be reversed. SLPP won’t be a threat to Muslims or to Tamils if they lose. Rather, if lose, GoRa and the gang will retreat with the tail tucked in between rear legs. GoRa & BaRa perhaps will end up in the US again.
–
But, it will be a totally different story if they win! An unimaginable level of reprisal against all communities, not just Muslims, who resisted SLPP has to be expected. It will not stop there. I strongly suspect that the “thug leader” is already planning to take over the PM office & the cabinet in order to force the cabinet to resign. Remember how far they went to push the Gvt to resign after PS election results in 2018? MaRa already passed a hint to this effect by saying that the defense ministry must remain under the president.

Gota managed to catch some Muslim and Tamils for his election campaign: but I would like free election. People must vote out free will. There must be no compulsion in voting. It is free will of people. If a section of Muslims like to vote for Gota let them do out of their own will. Politics is craft or game. It is like football or any other games. It does not need scientific or statistics knowledge rather skills to manipulate fact . I do not blame Ali Sabri. it is his choice and we should appreciate that..

My dear Sinhala Voters,
Gotabaya wants to show the world that Sinhalese are dangerous, violent, war mongering people. The violence against Tamil and Muslim people have nothing to do with majority Sinhalese. It is the work of opportunistic politicians like Mahinda and Gota. In order to come to power, now American citizen Gotabaya is using Sinhalese as an uncivilised community. You should not allow any more politicians to use Sinhalese and Buddhism to create violence and put the blame on ordinary Sinhalese masses. This country and people have suffered for a long time and people have suffered continuously in war, riots, violence but all the politicians have become rich and rich and ran away to the safest places and come back only to rule us and create violence and to go back with money. Use our brains and do not fall into the trap of fake patriotism.

Now these spies have connection to both RW and Gota; if he does not come to power, still they have RW behind Sajit..
All his comments are also, prepared by spies based in The US. They have been operating in Colombo from embassies since 1950s and more robustly in last 30 years and so. They have local Sinhalese spies who are communists/Christian/low caste and many of them own news papers and news webs

Gamini.,
Those who have benefitted or look forward to benefit by their association will canvas for the election of NGR. Their blind loyalty overlooks all the sins and omissions of corruption, nepotism, mismanagement, murder and disappearances committed under his watch.
Their motives are unapologetically selfish “Damn the country, Damn Democracy who cares so long as I can share the spoils “. No harm will come to me because I am with them but let those who oppose NGR suffer the consequences.
Damned if you do Damned if you don’t is the predicament of the Muslim voter. Why has this situation come to pass.? The blame must fall squarely on the Muslim politicians corrupt as they are like many other politicians who somersaulted from side to side to feather their own nests – at the expense of the poor Muslim voters. who have been at the receiving end of violence dished out by both sides.
About three years ago a tuk- tuk driver in Colombo told me. “ Sir the next time we have a problem it will not be from the LTTE in the north but from the people of Kattankudy.” Here was intelligence available of a calamity waiting in the wings which in the end proved true.
The muslim politicians did nothing to speak out against the changing attitudes, dress codes and the building of innumerable mosques in Kattankudy adorned by date palms ! They went with the flow and turned a blind eye to realities on the ground
They lacked Courage to stand up and say this was not the Islam of their forefathers., They now have to reap the seeds they sowed to the detriment of the muslim community.
True saviours of Sri Lanka can only be the Sinhalese majority who in their wisdom will not vote for Authoritarian rule.

Noor Nizam / October 29, 2019
During the Presidential Elections and general elections of 2010, 20% of the total Muslim votes were polled in favour of President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the UPFA. In the 2005 presidential elections, the Muslims played a major role in the victory of Mahinda Rajapaksa, it was reported.
The late T.B. Jaya said that “the Muslims should not put all their eggs in one basket”. What did this mean? It meant that the Muslims should be represented in both the National Sinhala political parties. Today, for some reason, there is only one Muslim elected representation in the SLFP/ “Mathri pela”, Hon. Fowzi and NONE in the “Ekkabadde Vipaksaya” (the Mahinda Rajapaksa group) a political force of nearly 51 SLFP/UPFA “elected” parliamentarians. Therefore the Muslims do not have a political voice. It is true that we have allowed the affairs of our community to be taken control of unscrupulous, dishonest, deceptive, self-motivated, selfish, corrupt and manipulating Muslim politicians, Muslim political party leaders, Ulema and Media personnel, that has led our community to be considered as a 2nd., class community in Sri Lanka. In politics, we are considered as the “community of political naanaas who turn the way their Fez Cap turns” to support any political party that comes to power for the personal gains of the political leaders of the Muslim parties.
The Muslim politicians have hoodwinked and betrayed the Muslim Community wholesale. In the aftermath of the Aluthgama/Beruwela incidents, the decision taken by the Muslims to steer clear from these politicians and to take their own political moves was the most appropriate. But the Yahapalana government has betrayed the Muslim Community by still NOT making the probe on the violence of Aluthgama and Beruwela which happened as a result of the communal racist actions of the so-called nationalist Buddhist clergy organization and Sinhalese groups, which is suspected to have taken place with the connivance of a Rajapaksa family member

However much they may think that neither of you two top-ranking presidential candidates is good enough to avert the present calamities from becoming future catastrophes for all in SL as you will become another My3 Mark2 from all indications to-date.

Further to my previous pieces, I hope & trust that Sajit will get an outright win on the 1st count.
If not with a reduced majority percentage on the 2nd preferences count from the rest of 33 candidates he obtains an overwhelmingly high count of votes to enable him to send the corrupt Sri Lankan Godfathers of politics into permanent oblivion into retirement or the gaol.

Hela / October 29, 2019
There is a practical issue I have highlighted at the very beginning of this campaign. The winning candidate has to primarily serve his winning base. Rest of the population comes after that. If Gotabaya wins purely with Sinhala votes, we could expect him to primarily serve Sinhala interests. However if Muslims and Tamils join him in sizeable numbers then through self interest he will be obliged to serve their interests too. This is reality and nothing sinister. Tamil political leadership shunned dialog with extremist 13 point demands. Tamil voters have to defy the edict of their leadership if they have common sense.

Veddass,
Ok, granted, politicians want to serve their own interest (not only between 2005 and 2015 as you stupidly claim). However they cannot serve their own interest without serving at least some interests of their core constituency. One major issue yahapalanaya faced was that they did not represent the majority of the majority.
