This is our ” yasa palnaya”.
Not a big deal.
The Ven Galgoda Atthe Gnanasara is the spiritual leader of SL’s Sinhala Buddhists.
He will remain so for many decades to come. Many Gamamarals will come and go but Ven Galgoda Atthe Gnanasara will remain in the hearts of the Sinhala Buddhists.
The Ven Galgoda Atthe Gnanasara provided leadership to the true Sinhala Buddhists from the time of the ending of the 30 year war with the Terrorist Tamils. He provided the moral and social rejuvenation of the Sinhala Buddhist population impacted by the 30 yr war while political leaders from all parties were embracing the Terrorist Tamils under the UN ‘suhddha’ sponsored Reconciliation banner.
Jailing Ven Galgoda Atthe Gnanasara will only make him a stronger leader of a higher stature.
Ven Galgoda Atthe Gnanasara, we are with you SIR while you spend time in prison; our hearts will be with you and we will drop many flowers on your behalf when we worship Lord Buddha during this year.
The Magistrate who decided to incarcerate you will have a special place in hell.
To all Weerayas. This is showcase trial. In my opinion, Ven Galabotaathe Gnanasara will be released on bail. May be next week. I am not surprised even Hon Sirisena pardoning the Monk to get Buddhist votes, People are questioning why the law only show its teeth selectively?
This is a gimmick to get votes from Muslims and Tamils.
