Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) General Secretary Ven. Galagodaaththe Gnanasara Thera surrendered to the Fort Magistrate’s Court a short while ago.

Colombo Fort Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne on Thursday issued an arrest warrant on the Thera after he failed to appear in court in connection with two ongoing cases.

Two cases were filed against the Thera for allegedly defaming the Quran and assaulting the organizers of the Jathika Bala Sena media conference held in 2014.

That is the right thing to do now and he should be kept behind bars for violating the court orders.

Dis-honoring the courts itself a crime and this Thero had repeatedly committed that crime, how he could be sent on bail?

Due his long absence on the public domain,(ie no exercise due to less bodily movement ) he may require medical attention specially if he has to now remain a guest of the government.
