The Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) today condemned the attack which took place at Weliweriya and said the problem could have been resolved in a much more civilized manner as there was ample time to resolve it.

BBS General Secretary Ven. Galaboda Aththe Gnanasara Thera told a news conference that they were unhappy over what happened at Weliweriya last week.

“Sri Lankans have a right to protest and conduct protest rallies. The protesters also have a responsibility to cause minimum inconvenience to the public. However when considering this attack we are wondering whether this is the method the Government is adopting to solve people’s issues,” the monk said.

Speaking about the investigations that are taking place regarding this issue, he said the investigations should be independent regardless of who was conducting the investigations. (JP & LSP)
