“Bodu Bala Sena” an organization of Buddhist monks and laymen today came to the Department of Archeology to urge the authorities to protect the archeological sites in the Eastern Province.

    The validity of their claim must be assessed first on the ground of integrity prior to take any action.

    Kanishka Friday, 30 November 2012 08:34 AM

    Richardson, only Muslims destroy and take valuable stuff ??? I think our people destroy more than any others

    suba Friday, 30 November 2012 09:41 AM

    suba Friday, 30 November 2012 09:42 AM

    These hefty monks in the 1st & 2nd pictures, are your certain they only have one meal a day? They look too well fed for being monks.

    hei naiye..why you drag the tamils to this issue. tamils are not talibans to destroy buddhist statues.
