He is vindictive towards Tamils due to the activities of LTTE against Muslims. He often tried to connect Tamils with the LTTE and created problems for the Tamil people.
Tamil National Alliance Jaffna District Parliamentarian Suresh Premachandra, replying to allegations levelled by Minister Bathiudeen told The Island thatthe All Ceylon Muslim Congress leader was trying to take revenge from Tamil people for the LTTE’s negative stand against Muslims.
"He is vindictive towards Tamils due to the activities of LTTE against Muslims. He often tried to connect Tamils with the LTTE and created problems for the Tamil people. Actually, he is trying to grab Tamil lands in the Mannar district, using his position as a minister. In fact he had grabbed a number of plots from Tamils and given them to Sinhalese and Muslims. Since he is close to President Rajapaksa, he is taking full use of the situation," he added.
