The day before the Bodu Bala Sena was scheduled to hold their rally in Mahiyanganaya, three Muslim families in the area packed their belongings and headed east, Rev. Watareka Wijitha thero Wiharadipathi Mahaveli Maha Viharaya, Mahiyangana Member Predesiya Saba says.
“On 2 August BBS was to come to Mahiyangana. The previous day three Muslim families closed their homes and shops, packed their belongings and left for Kalmunai, Kattankudy and Akkaraipattu. They said they would never come back to Mahiyanganaya. If like homeless people, they have to pack their things and go from town to town, what is the state of this country?” the monk who was a Chief Guest at an event organised by the Upcountry Muslims said.
