Galabodaatte Gnanasara thera said that a group of Buddhist monks who are not prepared to enjoy undue privileges are leaving the JHU. Responding to criticisms on the alliance between Tamil National Alliance (TNA) and the main opposition Ven.Gnanasara questioned that if former
LTTE leaders such as Karuna could join up with the government why couldn’t the TNA support General Sarath Fonseka. Meanwhile, Minister Champika Ranawaka, who is a JHU polite bureau member, said that the JHU has no problem with the government implementing the 13th constitutional amendment. The JHU had previously opposed to bring amendments to the constitution to devolve power. |
