    No matter what religious dignitary it is or what religion he or she belongs to, that person should be punished according to the law for any wrongdoings.

    "BBS demand release of Gnansara Thera" - When a case is pending, has BBS the right to "DEMAND". ? Can this also be construed as going against the judiciary , and therefore "contempt of court" ?
