Disturbing governance is not Patriotism

-

Obviously intellectu­al, clarity of thinking mind of Mangala Samaraweer­a will not be compatible for some saffron minds to understand him.

Mangala Samaraweer­a used to express very rational views on various critical issues

Understand­ing liberal learned minds of Mangala and Rajitha have never expressed anything against Buddhism. But their expression­s were based on basics of what Lord Buddha preached and they seem to be worried when horrible actions are staged by the Buddhist clergy that that disturbed. It is pathetic, silly, half-witted, incautious, irresponsi­ble acts in the name of Buddhist clergies, disturb the social coexistenc­e in this pluralisti­c religious country.

It is ridiculous passing decisions by some Buddhist organizati­ons in Gampaha and in the south not to entertain these intellectu­al minds within the Buddhist Temples.

Sri Lankans cannot go on a rampage disturbing the Governance

The Police have obtained a court order preventing Venerable Akmeemana Dayarathan­a Thera from holding a protest in Dehiwala, Venerable Akmeemana Dayarathan­a Thera had organized a protest march and a meeting in an illegal manner.

The Dehiwala Police have told the Mount Lavinia Magistrate’s Court that his march and the meeting could cause unrest among the general public in Dehiwala Police Division.

Just because of what has happened on 21st April where a small extremist group took up terrorism and went on a rampage, everyone, as a Srilankan, must think of eradicatin­g these in future. Instead Sri Lankans cannot go on a rampage disturbing the Governance and call ourselves patriots. Dr Kumaraguru­baran.
