“Pic on dress not the Darmachakr­a.”

The arrest is a result of Buddhist extremism. It’s a pity that such a complaint was made

Ven.dambara Amila confirmed that the picture was not that of the Darmachakr­a, but was of the helm of a wheel. “The Darmachakr­a is like a wheel of a cart. It’s a symbolic of the spreading of Buddhism. The Darmachakr­a is what you find in the Indian national flag. But the picture on the woman’s dress is not the Darmachakr­a,” he said.

“The arrest is a result of Buddhist extremism. It’s a pity that such a complaint was made and that she was arrested without preliminar­y investigat­ions. Such an arrest has nothing to do with Buddhism. The violation of this woman’s rights is a pity,” he said.
