PRESS RELEASE - MEETING WITH MAHANAYAKAS

Meeting with Mahanayakas

In continuation of my mission to find a reasonable and acceptable solution to our ethnic problem, apart from meeting leaders of Political parties, leading citizens, religious leaders, NGOs etc, I met Asgiriya Parshaveya Mahanayaka most Venerable Udugama Buddharakkita Thero and Malwathu Parshaveya Mahanayaka, most Venerable Thippatuwawe Sumangala Thero, at their respective Viharayas on last Tuesday and explained to them my proposal to find a solution, based on the Indian model and sought their support and blessings. Both of them, appreciating my effort,assured me that they are agreeable for any solution without dividing the country. They have also promised their unstinted support for my venture.

Both the Mahanayakas expressed their concerns for the suffering masses of Sri Lanka and of the people of the North and East in particular. I am confident that the blessings and the support of the Sangha will be available for any efforts the Government takes to solve the ethnic problem.
