Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said today he had ordered a full investigation into the incident which occurred at the Homagama Courts where a certain group had held a protest against the remanding of Ven. Galagodaatte Gnanasara Thera.

He said he would submit a report to the most Venerable Mahanayaka Theras.

The Prime Minister told Parliament that the law would be enforced on anyone no matter who they were.

“Everyone is equal before the law and we will not allow ‘Somaramas’ and ‘Buddarakithas’ to emerge again," he said.

He who referred to the global situation said the practice today in the world is cooperation among all countries. Therefore he said Sri Lanka should also work with all the countries of the world. He said ten thousand acres in Andhra Pradesh has been given to China.

The Prime Minister said Sri Lanka should follow countries such as Singapore which had a considerable say in global affairs.

“Sri Lanka too is becoming an important country in the World and that's why the Foreign Ministry played a role in bringing about stability in the Maldives," he said adding that the recent overseas visits of President Maithripala Sirisena were ample proof of this situation. (Yohan Perera)

    Some people think that the freedom they enjoy today without death squads is a weakness of the government.

    Our PM is a honest person, the entire world knows. Now he should act wisely to take action against Bogus Monks.

    If the Buddhist priests start to behave in this way there is doubt whether Buddhism will survive in Sri Lanka for another 50 years,if so the Buddhist priest will hold responsibility.It is high time not just recruit children as Buddhist priest,but recruit minimum age 15 to sixteen to start with.The priests who participated recent circus act may be mostly recruited in the very teen age,they are not aware the gravity of the act.

    Buddhist monks should engage in Buddhist activities not in politics....
