Will the Muslim youth of Colombo form their own anti-LTTE ""Ossama"" squads, as their counterparts in Batticaloa have already done? Informed opinion is that they will, and soon, if fair play is not ensured for the community in the embattled East. Colombo based east-coast businessman U. Abdul Wahab told that the major threat was that Muslim youth would soon step out on the same path Sinhala youth had taken with the JVP uprisings and the Tamil youth driven to militancy in the past.
The meeting which was presided by Javid Yosuf, former Sri Lankan Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and a former Principal of Zahira College endorsed the CIMOGG structure for the future governance of Sri Lanka. The unanimous opinion of the 48 Muslim representatives at the discussions was positive.
