Relics arrival not linked to any political agenda - Thera

There is no political agenda behind the Kapilawasthu Sacred Relics Exposition since it is inconceivable that people will cast their vote based on a religious event, Ven Welimitiyawe Kusaladhamma Thera said.

“We have to concede this is a great occasion for Sri Lanka. Thousands worshipped the Sacred Relics with great fervour and devotion,” the Thera said.

“It would also be a good if the Sacred Relics could be kept at sites hallowed by the Buddha’s visit to the country,” Ven Kusaladhamma Thera said.

Meanwhile, Ven Prof Kamburugamuwa Vajira Thera said whatever Opposition parties say, the arrival of Sacred Relics is a special honour and privilege to the country.

“It is a path to develop the relationship between India and Sri Lanka. On the other hand, the government is not weak to seek votes through a religious event,” he said.

“Devotees consider this event similar to the Buddha’s arrival to the country. However some bankrupt political parties are trying to create an unwanted issue,” the thera said.
