The participants came out with various opinions.

ACJU Condemns the attacks on Buddhist Monks
All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama, the council of Muslim theologians in Sri Lanka vehemently condemns the inhuman act of attacking the innocent Buddhist Monks in Tamil Nadu recently. They visit India mostly on pilgrimage or for further studies. It is the responsibility of the Indian government to give due protection to the religious dignitaries, irrespective of any religion, visiting India.
All religions encourage respecting other religions, the holy places of other religions, the people of other religions, and especially the religious dignitaries of other religions. Islam insists that everyone must honor the lives, the properties and the feelings of his fellow beings.
ACJU requests the Indian government to bring the offenders for prosecution as fast as possible to erase the damage caused.

Chief Government Whip Dinesh Gunawardena commenting on the rising communal tensions in Sri Lanka said no organisation could take the law into its hands under the pretext of protecting religion
“The law of the country has to prevail, no organisation can take the law into their hands under the pretext of protecting a religion,” he said.
The minister said the Cabinet sub-committee would hold a crucial meeting in this regard this afternoon.

“We won’t let any sort of communal conflict occur in this country and we are doing everything possible to prevent such a thing. There are many working tirelessly behind the scenes regarding this matter,” he said. (H.F)
