It is high time the current ruling party acknowledges the contribution of some really dedicated workers who have sacrificed their personal lives for the sake of the party. It was seen in 1996 when the AL came to power, those women were totally neglected and that had caused enormous harm to their political careers and amongst those were women who had dedicated their youth to the party. The party should look into the applications with utmost care and then decide whom to nominate. When a party comes to power they tend to forget the veterans which causes immense frustration to those frontline warriors, especially when they see the opportunists taking their places. My request to the AL high command is: judge every application on merit, rather than any undue request. Please do not give nominations to the opportunists.
