A reader responds to Jehan Hameed’s article on Hakeem-Sumanthiran Alliance

COLOMBO ; How does this Rakapake acolyte know it is a concern within the Muslim community that Hakeem-Sumanthiran alliance ensured Nazeer Ahmed’s loss of Parliamentary seat. 

I am visiting the Eastern province now, and many people are expressing a sigh of relief at the SC judgement. 

Sumanthiran is a lawyer, not like Ali Sabry. He is principled and helps anyone who seeks his legal counsel. And it is the right of representation accorded to a  lawyer by law. How can she question the exercise of that legal right regardless of the outcome of that exercise in a particular case. 

She has to grow, and unshackle herself from this myopic, distorted political logic, which produces a false sense of patriotism.
