LLRC report implementation must ensure unitary state - Anunayakes

Asela Kuruluwansa

The two Anunayakes of the Malwatta and Asgiriya chapters have declared that whatever challenges we are confronted with, when trying to implement the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC)Report, what has to be implemented is only the exclusive proposals that ensure the unitary status and national harmony of the country.

Some of the political parties in this country are of the opinion that the American proposals brought before the Human Rights Council are implemented immediately. This is not acceptable, the two Anunayake Theras of the Siyam Maha Nikaya Asgiriya Sect Most. Ven.Thalangama Sri Aththadassi Thera and Malwatte Sect Anunayaka Most Ven. Pushpa Niyangoda Sri Vijithasiri Thera categorically stated. The two Anunayakes also state that before the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission report is implemented, a referendum will have to be held.

"The peace enjoyed by the public has to be preserved at any cost in view of the critical thirty years of horrorible experiences undergone by the people of this country more than any other country in the world" the Anunayake Theras said. They both vehemently state that no one could surpass the majority opinion of this country and a detailed discussion on this matter outside politics is of vital importance.
