Former president Mahinda Rajapaksa visited Kandy today and met the Anunayake Theras of the Malwathu and Asgiriya Chapters, the Muslim Moulavis and Hindu Priests at Lohan Ratwatte's residence in Mahiyawa and discussed ways and means of restoring peace in Kandy.

The Anunayake of Malwatte Chapter, the Ven Niyangoda Sri Vijithasiri Thera and Anunayake of the Asgiriya Chapter, the Ven Venderuwe Upali Thera said all communities should live in peace and desist from acting in a manner that promotes violence or provoke other religious groups.

Mr. Rajapaksa said the Mahanayake Theras, Muslim Moulavis and Hindu Priests should meet together and discuss how these contentious issues should be resolved and the area returns to normal.

He said the Sinhala community and the Muslim community should act with restraint and work together to avoid creating unnecessary issues that end up in clashes among the various ethnic groups. (J A L Jayasinghe)

DM Deliberately and selectively makes the dislike thumbs down unresponsive on comments that are in favour of MR. Whatr kind of media neutrality is this, suggest you go and learn journalistic freedom, objectivity and ethics above all, before inviting people to respond with comments on your news articles.

That is called leadership! That is a quality of a people's president!

Bandara Friday, 09 March 2018 09:38 PM

after igniting the fire now he is trying to showcase himself as savior. He is the worst and most opportunistic and power hungry politician in last two decades.

karthik Friday, 09 March 2018 10:45 PM

This is a time for statsmen of this country to visit and not the politicians.

Mhf Friday, 09 March 2018 10:54 PM

Unconvincing. Somehow he seems pretty satisfied with the clash.

Yeti Saturday, 10 March 2018 07:20 AM

To see for himself their 'hapankam'?

Mohamed Saturday, 10 March 2018 07:44 AM

all the news are fake. Muslims and Sinhalese in that area as one family and there are no violence between Singhalese and muslims in that area, These all are well planned and all incident done by outsiders. They are playing very dangerous game. Please stop these kind of act and leave alone these innocent Singhalese and Muslims to live in peace.
