Former defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa said yesterday the main reason for most of the issues in the country was the result of following the advice of NGOs rather than seeking advice of the Maha Sanga.
The government was acting on the instructions of the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) instead of seeking the advice of the Maha Sanga, Mr. Rajapaksa said at an event in Kandy.
“The government has forgotten religious values, our culture and sovereignty and this has resulted in various issues within different sections of society, “he said and added that that during his time, they invited religious leaders to the defense ministry and sought their advice when the country faced serious issues like today.
Mr. Rajapaksa said it was pointless giving priority to Buddhism only in the Constitution.

Your correct Sir. In fact, that is one reason for most of the people to dislike this govt.

How are monks more qualified to give advice in running a country than the United Nations and it's institution? Sure, they have faults but they are definitely more qualified than monks.

This country was led and guided by Buddhist clergy for 2500years. Think they have abit experience.

You are absolutely correct in this issue.

Are you serious? We know what yours so called values are. Your comments would be laughable if the situation was not serious. Best to keep your mouth shut.

If people think corruption allegations against Rajapakses are true, they would have voted en masse to JVP. But couldn't win a single Pradeshia Saba. Visible trend was to put Rajapakses back at the helm. Why?
