Sri Lanka, Oct. 22 -- Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) Leader and Member of Parliament Rauff Hakeem in Parliament on Tuesday (20) urged the Health Minister to respect the ruling of the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) regarding the uniform and religious attire of Muslim healthcare assistants.

"We have sent a letter to the Health Minister, signed by the leaders of the six Tamil-speaking parties represented in Parliament, requesting that action be taken promptly in accordance with that order."

He further stated that he would therefore request the Minister to form a committee and take steps to make the necessary changes to the uniform to meet the needs of Muslim women working as health care assistants.
