The Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) Organisation today explained the policies of their proposed political party and said they had a vision to regulate the country’s population growth to avoid ethnocentric issues.

BBS General Secretary Ven. Galagodaaththe Gnanasara Thera said they had a vision of making rules and regulations to manage the population of the country because there were several areas with less Sinhala population.

The Thera said the regions in the country should not be created based on ethnic groups or religions and the marriage laws should be equal for all the citizens regardless of their religion.

“We had several discussions with some political parties about our proposed laws but we would never form political alliances with main political parties. Our candidates will be laymen and Buddhist monks will guide and provide instructions to the political party,” he said, and added further that the name of the political party and the symbol were yet to be decided.

He also said they would produce laws for the growth of Sinhalese and said they would try to gain at least one vote from one Sinhala family.

Meanwhile, the BBS strongly condemned the gang-rape and murder of Jaffna schoolgirl Sivaloganathan Vidya.
