Sri Lanka is facing Buddhist extremism from uneducated Buddhist monks who can easily influence the mass. This prevent Srilankan's liberal thinking.

This is an act of pure political agenda. Beside monks must do their duty as per Lord Buddha's teachings like wise other Buddhist nations monks practices.
