Particularly the likes of Hakeem ! This then points to the IDP’s being fleeced by their own!
This of course is similar to the LTTE claiming to be guardians of Tamils and the likes of Champika Ranawaka, Rajapakse and BBS being claiming to be guardians of Sinhala Buddhists !

On the topic of the book, I personally find it worrying the settlement program not because the minister (politician) leading the resettlement is Muslim but due to the nature of the politician. He is a thug who had threatened/assaulted a judge in Mannar (with several other serious allegations against him). I would be equally concerned if Mervyn Silva was leading the charge in resettlement or when Douglas Devanada led the resettlement efforts in the north. The ethnicity is irrelevant, it is the nature of the politician that is more concerning to me.
