Gota supports Bodhu Bala Sena
Friday, 01 March
2013
Defence
Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has pledged to extend his fullest support to the
Bodhu Bala Sena organization. He had made the pledge to the National Organizer
of Bodhu Bala Sena, Ven. Vitharandeniye Nanda Thero.
The
Defence Secretary had given his assurance upon being invited as the chief guest
for the launching ceremony of an international level university for Sinhala
Buddhists.
Gotabhaya
Rajapaksa has asked Ven. Nanda Thero to ignore the threat by the Ulamas that
they would withdraw from issuing halal certificates and that there was a
conspiracy behind the statement. The Defence Secretary has said that the Ulamas
are being instigated by Minister Rauf Hakeem and several other Muslim leaders
and that intelligence reports have indicated that it was conspiracy to create a
rift between Sri Lanka and the Muslim countries.
The
Defence Secretary has explained that these conspiracies are being carried out
simultaneous to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) sessions in Geneva and has
requested that the Bodhu Bala Sena acts with caution during the period. He has
also assured security to Ven. Galagodatte Gnanasara Thero.
Gotabhaya
has advised Ven. Nanda Thero not to get the JHU involved in any Bodhu Bala Sena
activities since the President is currently displeased with Minister Champika
Ranawaka and Ven. Athuraliye Ratana Thero. He has observed that there was no
problem in getting the services of Udaya Gammanpila.
Although
Gotabhaya is supportive of Bodhu Bala Sena, Economic Development Minister Basil
Rajapaksa has expressed his objections to the anti-halal campaign launched by
the organization.
Despite
reports published in Minister Wimal Weerawansa’s Lankacenews website that the
President would make a statement on his stance in the halal issue, the President
has as usual avoiding making any comments.
