People stage a massive protest in respect of the programme mooted by the United States against Sri Lanka.
Action was initiated to hand over a special memorandum to the US embassy in Colombo strongly opposing these actions of the United States. The people who came in a procession with elephants handed over their protest memorandum to the US Embassy. These activities took place under the guidance of the Chief Incumbent of the Hunupitiya Gangarama temple, the Ven. Galaboda Gnanissara Thera.
The protesters emphasized that certain US officials who were arriving in Sri Lanka were providing false information to the world against the island nation. They demanded the United States to halt such false propaganda. The protestors also dashed coconuts opposite the US Embassy to express their dissent.
Expressing his views on the occasion the Ven. Galaboda Gnanissara Thera said he wished that the United States receives the knowledge of the Dhamma and become more moderate. The prelate wished that the mentality of those who are attempting to see that terrorism raises its ugly heads in the island nation again and who is averse to the development taking place in the country, return to normality.
