Both Sinhalese and Muslims have fear – Ali Sabry

Bridges must be built to create peace instead of creating distances between communities, says President’s Counsel Ali Sabry.

He expressed these views addressing a function held at Zahira College in Maradana last evening (12).

“We in this country live in great fear and doubt of each other.

Muslims are always in fear that there would be an issue for them. On the other hand Sinhalese wonder when another bomb would blast. Both sides have fear.

We should build bridges to overcome this fear.

If we can get together and talk to each other, we will realize that no one in this country is conspiring against others.

And that all just want to develop the country in peace.”
