Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said that there is a conspiracy going on to undermine the work of Buddhists who dedicate themselves to safeguarding Buddha Sasana and social and religious well-being. He said that if anti-Buddhist forces cannot be controlled when they rise, it will be a serious tragedy and it is everyone’s responsibility to protect Buddhism.
Premadasa expressed these view after attending ceremonies to award the honorary title of “Shri Sugatha Sasana Prasadani” to his wife Jalani Premadasa and appointing Nayana Wasalathilaka as the Basnayaka Nilame of the Diyathalawa Kahagolla Sri Sudarshanarama Purana Viharaya.
The Opposition Leader recalled that his father, the late President Ranasinghe Premadasa established the Budda Sasana Ministry and performed immense work for the sake of Buddhism, but some of his political opponents even resorted to criticize him going to temples and working for the uplift of religion.
