Ramanna Nikaya Mahanayake Ven. Napana Premasiri Thera requested President Maithripala Sirisena to provide former president Mahinda Rajapaksa with military security as provided earlier.

Ven. Premasiri Thera said in a letter to the President that the attempts to divide the country had not been completely eliminated and no assurance could be given that there was no threat to Mr. Rajapaksa’s life.

The Thera said everyone including Buddhist monks commended Mr. Rajapaksa for his actions to end the three-decade war and added that neither the terrorists nor certain international leaders were happy with the steps he had taken to end the war.

I think you should do better things like safeguarding Buddhism, helping people, teaching them right and wrong than been involved with political matters.

Did this monk make the same request when Mrs. Chandrika Kumarathunge's security was reduced also?

Never offering from robbed money to the Temple as donation is a crime.

Correct Mahinda is only a MP, all should understand that.

Why are they washing clothes to a robber.

Kadupol Jothywansa Friday, 06 May 2016 09:36 PM

Sorry your request will bounce back to you. A thief don't need a security.

Why are the priests involving in subjects they have no knowledge or expertise? Leave it to the experts to decide.

Most unfortunate behind factor in Sri Lankan politics that is religion influence to governance. Please, respect and follow original teaching of the Buddha.
