Central Provincial Council member Azad Sally has said that the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) insulted Islamic faith and Quran at the BBS general assembly which was held on September 28.
Speaking to BBC Sandeshaya the Sally said that the BBS general assembly was not a Buddhist gathering for peace.
"The Bodu Bala Sena general assembly was held with the blessing of the government and the while Sri Lanka denied entry to the world renowned preacher of peace Dalai Lama, they granted access to the Virathu monk who is responsible for the deaths of Muslims in Burma”, he said.
During the BBS general assembly the organization demanded the government to change the name of the country to ‘Sinhalaya’ and to name the Muslims, Christians and Tamils as Sri Lankan Muslims, Sri Lankan Christians and Sri Lankan Tamils respectively.
Commenting on this remark father Marimuthu Pillai said that the aim of the Bodu Bals Sena organization is to wipe out all the other religions from Sri Lanka.
“Sri Lanka is a multi-cultural country and all nationalities have equal rights. The Bodu Bala Sena spreads their propaganda with the blessing of the government, some would go to the extent of calling the BBS the ‘voice of the government”, he said.
