What form of transport will they use to take bodied to another country? Do relatives travel with the body?

And who will pay for the transport costs to Maldives?

There is no need for any other country to offer solace to our internal rule of the land. Whatever, our Motherland decide is the rule for the communities and the citizens of Sri Lanka. This is clearly mentioned in all religious scriptures, particularly Islam stresses strictly to respect and follow the rules

Pretending as taking to the Maldives the dead bodies of Covid victims they will dump in the SEA. This is another COVID-19 DRAMA.

Sorry I dont think as Sri Lankan Muslims we will accept this alternative . How the authorities came to a conclusion that the Sri Lankan Muslims will agree to this is ridiculous.

H.S.S. Andul, I totally agree with you. This all is so disrespectful for minorities. Like they do us a favour instead of discriminate us. Mandatory cremation makes no sense. Cremation only hurt us even more in our grief

H.S.S. Andul, I totally agree with you. Mandatory cremation is a disgrace in the first place. So the president should not act like he is doing us a favour. He has no respect for minorities and their grief at all.

What's next? Sending them all to another Island to live under sharia?

H.S.S. Andul, I completely agree with you. Mandatory cremation is a big disgrace in the first place. And everyone knows or don't want to know, it is completely unnecessary, only to hurt minorities even more in their grief. So the president should not act like he is doing us a big favour.

Sri Lanka , a country where the minorities cannot live or die. Every day life will be dictated by the majority.

Why all these troubles? Let them bury their dead relatives here, just like many other countries do.

The dead are past caring where they will be buried .its the grieving families that want to say farewell ..and mostly religion and tradition had a bearing ...but this seems extravagant .

This is curse of God for sinful Easter murders, now now your head to God's wish and accept the punishment

This is the motherland of Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim people living here. Their rights should not be deprived.
