In a recent interview with SL Deshaya’s Youtube Presenter Darshana Handungoda, United National Freedom Front candidate Muhammed Fazl who is contesting for a parliamentary seat from Colombo, stated that he has warned government officials to take necessary precautions in stifling a possible terror attack.
Muhammed Fazl has been an active social and political commentator expressing concerns about governance and political dynamics in Sri Lanka.
In 2013, he wrote about potential threats to constitutional order, highlighting the importance of vigilance against any attempts to undermine democratic institutions.His political views emphasize the need for transparency, justice, and the protection of human rights. Fazl advocates for unity among Sri Lankans and stresses the importance of addressing social issues through informed discourse and active participation. His aspirations include fostering a more inclusive society and ensuring that governance structures are accountable and responsive to the needs of all citizens.
During former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s tenure, Fazl was detained for over two years without formal charges, a move believed to be an attempt to silence his critics of the government’s actions. This detention underscores the challenges faced by activists and commentators in Sri Lanka who advocate for transparency and accountability.
The interview was conducted in Sinhala.
