Re: “A victory of no kind”

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) extends congratulations to both candidates who were successful in the by-election, as the victors.

However, Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) will like to note that as it pertains to the electoral district of Barataria, it was evident to see the Muslim community voted against the People’s National Movement (PNM). This would have stemmed from the PNM’s attempt to oppress Muslims via the Anti Gang and Anti Terrorism Bills, and anti Muslim Carnival raid.

Therefore, it should not surprise the PNM that they would lose an area, where Muslims are, if not fully dominant but very influential. The Hindus also have been mistreated by this administration. Thus why polling division 1405 might have contributed to the PNM’s defeat there as well. In fact, the PNM should not celebrate their win in Belmont East, as the district can be considered somewhat “safe” for them. The PNM should not celebrate this, but in fact see this as a wake up call. See this for what it is; a clear, message.

So the question must be asked, had this been a General Government Election, would the PNM be as successful as they’d hope? The answer to that question is NO. Unless the PNM, start to properly consult the Muslim community on matters of importance and with regards to certain policies, then moving forward, they will certainly lose a great number of votes which will come from the Muslim community.

Attempts to appease the Muslim community now will only look like cheap and desperate bribery tactics, so it’s best moving forward the PNM do what’s fair, and right and start working with the Muslim community in this country; specifically on matters of policies and national interest.

Thus, Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is open to consultations and assisting the government on critical matters of national interest which will affect the Muslim community. Further, in due time Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) will be holding walk-abouts and cottage meetings within the East/West corridor and certain areas in Central Trinidad to inform and educate the populace about the current state of affairs in this country.
