I
can accept 100 per cent it if a Buddhist monk says the constitution
should give priority to Buddhism and that that should not be tampered
with. But, if someone says the executive presidency should not be
abolished and powers should not be devolved, there is a hidden political
agenda. Behind that political agenda is raw racism,” says Gamini
Viyangoda.
He was speaking at the launch of a book titled ‘Wilpattu – truth and
myth’ recently. Viyangoda also said Lord Buddha had not preached for
Sinhala Buddhists only, but for the entire world. Also, Buddhism says
racial, religious caste differences should be denounced entirely.
