The Ruthless BBS Went To Devenagala To Remove Muslims
Dr. Rifai Naleemi
Bodu Bala Sena has been targeting innocent Muslim people for more than 3 years now. It has been a customary habit of the BBS to generate some chaos very often about the minority communities. They have been targeting places of worship of minorities in Sri Lanka. Many churches, Hindu temples and mosques have been ransacked and burned to ground in many places in Sri Lanka. Tamils locally and internationally claim that their traditional home lands of North and East have been colonised and more and more Buddhist statues and temples have been erected in their areas. This act has been viewed and perceived as a cultural invasion by the majority of Tamils. This is done with the protection of three forces in Sri Lanka. This is the general perception of most of Tamils in Sri Lanka and abroad. This perception has been internationalised now. The international communities have already realised this crafty attitude of this government.
After defeating LTTE the present day Sri Lankan government is very crafty destroying the cultural heritage of minority communities. Its implicit approval and endorsement of the BBS activities are well known among all communities in SL. Even opposition political parties know that and yet, they cannot take any necessary measure to curtail BBS activities because a powerful ‘person’ is behind its atrocities. How many mosques have been targeted by BBS in recent times? How many churches have been targeted by BBS? How many Hindu temples have been targeted by BBS and its agent in recent time? Yet, no legal action has been taken as if Sri Lanka has no any legal system in to bring them to the court of law?
BBS has been waiting until the commonwealth meeting is over to begin its venomous activities. Soon after the commonwealth meeting was concluded, the BBS begun to unleash its hatred campaign. Recently the BBS went to Devenagala with some false claims. It is asking people surrounding Devenagala to evacuate their houses. People around this area have been living for many decades and yet, they never been as hindrance for the Buddhist temple on the top of the stone. There is a Buddha statue on the top of this stone and very rarely people go to this stone to engage in religious activities on the top of this stone. If they want to remove Muslims from this area they should also ask Sinhalese families to move from this area as well. Why is this racial and discriminative attitude? Read More
