The Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) today condemned the alleged attempts by some factions to surround and to get hold of ‘Sadaham Sevana’ International Buddhist Centre in Rajagiriya where 25 Buddhist monks including Ven. Athuraliye Rathana Thera are residing.

The party alleged that the henchmen of the government including Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte Mayor had attempted to provoke the residents of the area and to intimidate the monks.

“The government should take the full responsibility if anything happen to Rathana Thera,” the party said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

JHU now you know who are the thugs. Good that you took the right decision to come out from UPFA, otherwise you too will go into the bad books.

The Government wants Ven. Rathana hera to have a medical check up at Dr. Nevil Fernando Hospital and be safe.

Intimidation, threat, assault, disappearances and murder are the tools used by the crazy Jokers to rule the corrupt lawless Banana Republic. God save former Democratic Sri Lanka.
