A video circulated on social media over the weekend has caused a stir after it showed several Sri Lankans engaged in a heated argument with a Sri Lankan Buddhist monk at a Buddhist temple in Japan.

In the video, it can be heard that the brawl allegedly had broken out over an alleged sexual misconduct with another Sri Lankan male.

Former Parliamentarian Ranjan Ramanayake told the Daily Mirror that he received the video from a friend living in Japan and had uploaded it on his personal FaceBook page.

Ramanayake told the Daily Mirror that he will maintain a ‘wait and see’ approach on this incident as those who pass information are usually criticized and faulted in Sri Lanka. "They usually shoot the messenger in Sri Lanka," he said.

Ven. Magalkande Sudantha Thera, who is seen in the video, was one of complainants who made complaints to the Supreme Court seeking a contempt of court action against former Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake

Ranjan must try to avoid getting into unnecessary controversies at least for some time.

it is not a contraversy but the true fact. People must know that some are using the robes to fulfill their perverted desires.

Ranjit Monday, 03 July 2023 03:38 PM

Some use the robes to fulfill their perverted desires. They must be derobed and prosecuted and must be severely punished so that others will not do the same .
