Buddha Sasana minister? Why? For what purpose? Just producing jobs from thin air like the 95% of the working population.
Excellent choice by UNP in introducing next gen of leaders to greater responsibility.
Ruwan, Sujeeva, Harin, Harsha and Ranjan demonstrate high potential leadership and public standards.
You are right Bro Ranjith. Buddha Sasana survived without a Budha Sasasana Minister for centuries. Why we need a Budha Sasana Minister to protect: Pin-kate in temples? Stop m putting deviant Monks behind bars? Stop Chanting Pirith using loud speakers? Stop making conflicts among monks (Sangya beeda kirima anantharika papa karmayaki!)? Stop encroachment of lands belongs to temples? It is just a ceremonial job. Another Luxury Car and huge benefits with tax payers money.
When can the UNP get rid of the P****** and his Blue drug lords and people smugglers and establish a true democratic Government with its youth brigade?
Brother Mr Amarakoon is that this country going down the drain and there is nothing we can do about. When a country get corrupt to this extent there is no way out. In other words Sri Lanka is so corrupted so it has become a way of life. A country which preach “bana” all the time.Very sad.
The former leader has said that he will follow the new Justice Minister every step of her pathway.
If you are innocent, why should you be worried about persecution?
