"Weapons kept for self-defence also seized" - Rauff Hakeem

Colombo (News 1st): Convening a media briefing today (May 9), Minister Rauff Hakeem noted that when the equipment used by terrorists and small-time criminals are seized, equipment that has been kept for self-defence is also caught and labelled as such. He said the Muslim community is portrayed as if they are planning a terrorist attack. He added the security forces and all communities must view this from a moderate stance.
