Muslims youths did exactly what Anura told them to do – BBS

 Friday, 13 June 2014 

JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake recently told Muslim youths to hit back if they were attacked, and that is exactly what Muslim youths had done in Aluthgama town today (12), CEO of Bodu Bala Sena Dilanthe Withanage told Lanka News Web.

He was responding to a question as to whether BBS was responsible in any way to the incident on Poson full moon poya day today, in which a group of Muslim youths had assaulted a Buddhist monk.

Mr. Withanage said Rawana Balaya and other organizations had visited the area to make inquiries with regard to the incident, but BBS had not done so, after the assault by a group of Muslim youths, angered by a vehicle carrying a Buddhist monk tooting its horn to ask for space to clear the way from them who had been blocking the way.

“We do not go to get involved in unnecessary trouble. Already, we have been branded a terrorist organization. If any communal clash occurs, the responsibility should be borne by those who had given advice and those who were behind those incidents. We have nothing to do with those incidents,” he said.
