Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa said it was regrettable that an organization headed by the daughter of former prime minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike had acted to produce radio programmes bearing titles that insulted Buddhism and its culture.

He was referring to the radio drams produced by the Office of National Unity and Reconciliation (ONUR) headed by Chandrika Bandaranaike.

He said it was better for those with authority to look into such matters.

“People regret that the daughter of a pious Buddhist lady Sirimavo Bandaranaike is involved in such matters,” he said. (UpaliP Ranaweera)

Insulting and vilifying Buddhists and provoking them , thereafter expect them to be calm . Hilarious policy. Is this cohabitation?

What about the behaviour of Thug Gnanassara, does this not bring disgrace and sling mud on the LORD BUDDHA and HIS Teaching.

What about the car racing of your sons ignoring the advice of the Mahanayake Thera's of the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy? From which end are you spewing out now?

A certain channel who is pro Rajapakse's air a tele drama with two small buddhist priest that is highly controversial towards Buddhism. Unfortunately no one who talk so much of Buddhism has not done anything about it. Is it because it is supporting the anti government?

....and you insult Buddhism by doing everything contrary to Buddhism - steal , murder, manipulate , vengeful , revengeful and the list goes on.

What do you think of Gnanasara? Is he not an insult to what the enlightened has preached the mankind.Whoever on your side has the licence to do anything and they are right. Sorry, you are wrong sir.
