Gnanasara thero arrested
Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) General Secretary Ven. Galaboda Aththe Gnanasara Thera has been arrested after he produced himself at the Cinnamon Gardens Police.
He is to be produced before court today, police spokesman ASP Ruwan Gnasekara said.
A warrant was issued for the arrest of Bodu Bala Sena General Secretary Ven. Galaboda Aththe Gnanasara Thera after he failed to appear before the court on a case regarding his alleged participation at an unlawful assembly in front of the Bribery Commission.
The Colombo Magistrate’s Court on April 24 issued notice on 27 persons including ten Parliamentarians and Gnanasara Thera to appear before the court on contempt of court charges, as they staged the demonstration.
The Magistrate, however, had issued an order banning protests in front of the Bribery Commission on the particular day.
The court later granted bail for the MPs in the case on May 8. However, as Gnanasara Thera failed to appear in person before the court, the Magistrate issued the warrant, reporter added. A police team has also been deployed at the airport to arrest the BBS General Secretary upon his arrival in the Country, it was reported.

As Zama says, the Island Republic of Sri Lanka has currently been invaded by Tamils from South India. Their occupation, based on historical facts, will not last for long.
Again as Zama says, the Island Republic of Sri Lanka, has currently been invaded by heathens ruling from Colombo. The rulers, who control the media, are propagating falsehoods against Buddhism. Ven Galgoda Atthe Gnanasara is leading the peaceful campaign against the falsehoods perpetrated by the ruling classes who are occupying our land.
Ven Gnanasara is a hero; a freedom fighter of the modern era. Even a Tamil, Kang Aroomugam, has confirmed this fact in a previous blog.
The only time politicians are concious of the democratic process is on the eve of elections. They mange to win elections not out of reason but intimidation , vilification and thuggery. The out come of this process is these thugs get together and form a government without a tangible leadership and what prevails is a state of anarchy each doing his own thing gratifying the lobbyist that paved their way to victory. The only means through that they could maintain the status aquo is to keep the sinhala buddhist population divided. None of the polticians advocate sinhala solidarity and any movement to promote such a move is undermined by those with vested interests.
Sri Lankan colonolial history dates back to more than 1000 years and sinhala buddhist culture survived through bhikkus. When the british left SL and education catered to serve the colonial interests ans sinhala buddhists were not included. This colonial legacy continues and is reflected by the attitude of the prime minister and some members of his cabinet.
Whatever sirisena/ranil thinks the leadership ven Galboda Gnanasara has to offer the sinhal Buddhist can never be undermined.
