A tense situation prevailed outside the United National Party (UNP) headquarters Sirikotha today when Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) monks and supporters staged a protest over the attack on BBS monks last week inside Sirikotha. UNP MPs Ravi Karunanayake, Ruwan Wijewardena and National Organizer Daya Gamage stepped out of the UNP headquarters to express regret to the BBS members on behalf of the UNP for any inconvenience they might have unknowingly caused to them.

Why don't they confine themselves to temple activities instead of roaming around the streets causing unrest and making a general nuisance of themselves? Is this the philosophy they preach?

Fayad Tuesday, 19 November 2013 11:21 AM

They should refrain from try to take the law in to their hands

Nihal Tuesday, 19 November 2013 11:28 AM

I agree with you. They should not be involved in politics at all. We have enough problems as it is without further civil unrest.

WHY ARE YOU POKING YOUR NOSE INTO POLITICS. AND WHAT BUSINESS HAVE YOU AS MONKS GOT TO DO AT A POLITICAL PARTY HQRS. WHY NOT FOLLOW THE DHAMMA INSTEAD OF MAKING LIFE MISERABLE TO THE PUBLIC

Go back to the Temple teach the younger generation what the Lord Buddha taught us 2500 Years ago without causing disgrace to Buddhism .

These are not Buddhist Monks, I bet they know nothing about the true message of Buddhism as preached by Lord Buddha.
