BBS appreciates Sritharan's courage

by Niranjala Ariyawansha-Friday, 29 Nov 2013

General Secretary of the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS), Ven. Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara Thera, said he must appreciate Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP, Sritharan's courage in celebrating the late LTTE leader as a war hero whereas not a single Sinhala politician remembered Monarawila Keppetipola's name and paid tribute to his heroism in Parliament on his birthday.

"It is such a shame that not a single Sinhala politician was able to remember Keppetipola Nilame on his birth anniversary. Our Sinhala politicians just listened to MP Sritharan's speech. No one interrupted him. We all know that the Sri Lankan Parliament is comparable to a zoo. MP Sritharan at least proved his feelings for his race, whereas we failed," Ven. Gnanasara Thera said at a press conference held yesterday.


He added that the authorities should take Sritharan into custody as he has violated a Constitutional law.

Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) said they are in the process of exposing big time heroin dealers, and that they would expose the names of the main heroin dealers in Parliament. Commenting on the issue, General Secretary of the BBS, Ven. Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara Thera, said yesterday that the BBS had passed on information of heroin dealers to the relevant authorities, recently.

He said, he is also privy to the names and the whereabouts of all those who transport heroin to Colombo and he keeps track of them.

"This information was not revealed to the media because it will not be ethical. The apprehension that heroin peddlers had been subjected to, was due to the methods adopted to nab them," he added.

The Ven. Thera asserted that the BBS is taking measures to soon send a group of politicians with backbones to Parliament, after chasing the kuddan (heroin dealers), underworld characters and chandiyas (gangsters) out of the august assembly, who are now the representatives of the people.
