TNA Parliamentarian S. Viyalendiran has launched a protest fast at Gandhi Park in Batticaloa, supporting the hunger strike launched by MP Ven. Athureliye Rathana Thero.
Rathana Thero commenced a protest fast in front of Sri Dalada Maligawa in Kandy yesterday (31) demanding the removal of Minister Rishad Bathiudeen, Eastern Province Governor M.L.A.M Hizbullah and Western Province Governor Azath Salley from their respective posts.
The Thera said he commenced the fast as a favourable response was not received despite granting the President a 24 hour period to dismiss the trio.

Let’s hope it’s for the right motives!
Why question the motive? Isn’t the monk in a righteous cause? Go and live in the Eastern Province to learn about Muslims and how they cant tolerate Sinhalese
I don’t think clergy of any religion should resort this kind of activity . They are supposed to help keep the peace and guide their followers to have patience. However the government is not helping by doing the right thing and investigating these 3 people. There no smoke without fire. Theyveete very quick to arrest the Rajapakses’s and the securtity forces so you have wonder why the delay in at least showing the masses that something is getting done.
At least, the Yahapalana objective of reconciliation has been achieved.
This should make nationalists like Amarakoon shed a tear.
The TNA is supporting a worthy cause espoused by the majority Sinhala Buddhists.
Bravo !
its the month of fasting and look how co existence is working out all the muslims the bhudist and now the hindus are fasting next will it be the Christians, incredible Sri-Lanka no wonder its the w.onder of Asia and the rest of the world
I hope he dies soon.
The country will be a better place without TNA con men.
Will Sampanth, leader of TNA and his side-kick Abraham Sumanthiran join the great leader in his national venture?
