“There are locals who had been brain washed by the West before they left Sri Lanka. These locals are the eyes and ears of the Imperialism and they comprise of both Sinhalese and Tamils. They are so narrow-minded that they do not let Sinhalese and Tamils to unite,” he said.

“We have made provisions to hold tree planting ceremonies in Buddhist Temples with the participation of Hindu clergies and in Hindu Temples with Buddhist clergies. We will select religious worshipping places in each district for tree planting. A summit and lectures for the school children on Buddhist and Hindu amity are also scheduled to be held,” Mr. Arunkanthan said.
