UNP LEADER RANIL WICKRAMASINGHE EVEN DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT KAPILAVASTHU BUDDHA RELICS
Onlanka News – (A comment by Walter Jayawardhana)
Now it is clear that that the UNP leader Ranil Wickrmasinghe cannot make any statement related to the long history of the Sinhala people or Buddhism without becoming the laughing stock of the Sri Lankan people.
Once again he has done it at an election meeting in Kantale at Venrasapuram to the great embarrassment to his party members that the Kapilavasthu relics now venerated by the Buddhists all over the country are relics of Sariputta and Moggallana , the two main disciples of the Buddha.
There have been very many archeologists who have suggested that the Kapilavasthu relics are those of the Buddha.
If there had been any controversy about the relics, mostly nourished by national interests of Nepal and India, was whether Kapilavasthu was in Nepal or in India. There had been no question of Sariputta and Moggallana.
To quote, Wickramasinghe said, “While the government is exhibiting the Kapilavasthu relics, those of Agrasravaka Sariyuth and Mugalan it has made a man who bombed the greatest Buddha relic temple at Kandy the Chief Minister of the area ( Eastern Province).”
Sri Lanka is a Buddhist country by its constitution. The majority of the members of the UNP are also Buddhists. Dayasiri Jayasekera, Sajith Premadasa, Karu Jayasuriya some of the potential leaders of the party who are hated by Ranil Wickramasinghe show there is no dearth of leadership in the party at present if the unpopular Wickramsinghe leaves,
It is the greatest contribution Ranil Wickramasinghe could do to Buddhism which his ancestors betrayed to the white masters.

BUDDHA RELICS,
RANIL what can we say he dont know his grate grand farther what about buddhisam,
Gamunu, According to you yourself, “THESE ARE NOT 100% VERIFIED BY ANY archaeological institute ONLY SUGGESTS”
If that is the case, how can you argue that Ranil is 100% correct? Do you understand my question? If they were not confirmed by anyone yet, that means, what Ranil said also should be wrong. Isn’t it?
I guess you are qualified to be the opposition leader after Ranil.
Manjula,
Correct you are 100%
no independent commission has yet proved they are Buddha relics. this relics were found by Sirivastava in 1972.
Four bone fragments of the Buddha housed in the National Museum, Delhi are on a two-week tour of Sri Lanka to enable Buddhists there to pay homage to them. While all relics of the Buddha are revered, these are special. They are part of the trove of 22 bone fragments that were discovered by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in the 1970s in Kapilavastu, Uttar Pradesh, where he grew up as a prince before renouncing the world. (The Hindu 20/08/2012)And these relics were found by Srivastava Having delivered a sharply critical review of Srivastava’s claims however, the eminent archaeologist and historian, Herbert Härtel, stated that ‘To declare that the bones in one of the reliquaries in the lower chambers are those of the Buddha is not provable, and therefore not tenable. In our opinion, it is high time to set a token of scientific correctness in this extremely important matter’. 26

Hey s.kumari,
Which refugee camp are you coming from? Your knowledge on Buddhist affairs comes from rubbish published in the internet.
You read this rubbish and think you are a professor S.kumari, do you ever know what the sasana is? For your information S.kumari, the sasana is the cornerstone of the great buddhist civilisation.
So S.kumari, you continue to slaughter chickens and pigs and goats in Munneswaram. That cannot be tolerated in a buddhist land. You may even be slaughtering babies in Munneswaram.
So S.kumari, keep you gap shut where you don’t know what you are talking about.
I am Buddhist Your problem is you do not read books. Before insulting others you better read books on archeology in UK written in 19th century. People of you have knowledge of a frog in the well
Dear s.kumari,
Why are you assuming that I do not reading books? If you are ‘educated’ as you claim to be, the first thing to do is to verify your facts before making any claims.
You simply do not know who I am; I am just a mere blogger; I may be deaf, dumb, blind and intellectually disabled. But you are wrong in assuming that I do not read books.
So s.kumari, you may be well read including reading 19th century archelogical books. But please do not make assumptions.
ranils correct and these are not of buddhas.. it is of sariyuth and mugalans
