Rev. Muruththattuwe Ananda ready to protest for Gota
Rev. Muruththatuwe Ananda said if there are judicial actions taken against the former defense secretary that he would protest against it. A media announcement was issued today by a Buddhist organization called the Pevidi Handa with the signature of Rev. Ananda.
The presidential commission which investigates serious crimes and frauds announced last week that it is ready to file case against Gotabaya Rajapaksa and few others. Rev. Muruththattuwe Ananda said that the presidential commission is fabricating false charges and file case in the courts.
He said Gotabaya Rajapaksa has saved our country from the terrorists to end the war and he was brave enough at a time when others were in fear. Therefore if the government is planning to take action against a national hero that he would mobilize a protest with other monks.
It is regrettable to say that Rev. Ananda has forgotten the same war hero left to the USA in fear of the war and came to the country when his brother won the presidential election in 2005.
