AI SUMMARY GENERATED ONLY FROM THIS ARTICLE'S TEXT.
The Sinhala Ravaya last night called off its anti-cattle slaughter campaign held outside the Fort Railway station after President Mahinda Rajapaksa assured he would take necessary action on this matter.
The three Buddhist Monks who were fasting unto death left the site last night after receiving the President’s assurance.
Officials from the Presidential Secretariat visited the campaign site and offered water to the three monks, who were later admitted to the Colombo National Hospital in a critical condition.
Sinhala Ravaya Leader Ven. Akmeemana Dayarathna Thera said if this matter was not resolved in six months, the group would take further action.
“We have faith in the President,” he said. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

These monks are instigated by one of the Hierarchies in the Govt. not a Parliamentarian but a Govt. servant who has a friend in Australia. So he wants to Import Beef from Australia and earn a profit, leave alone the peoples money laundered by him and his brothers. Hope you'll know who I mean.For this protest these monks are given Liquor, Bites, Money & Women. This is the truth and nothing but the truth.
