Chief Sanghanayake of the United States and President of the California Sangha Sabha the Ven. Dr. Walpola Piyananda Thera has said that he was very much concerned over the statement made by Sarath Fonseka underestimating the President after comparing him to the world’s deadliest tiger leader Velupillai Prabhakaran. He recounted the granting of all facilities by the President for the daughters of Fonseka to pursue studies in the United States.
It is mentioned in the Dhamma that the naïve commit sin due to hatred. They did not think or consider about the result. It is very sad to note the statements made by Sarath Fonseka who is swamped in ill-will and enmity. The prelate said that everyone is aware of how the President saved the country and the nation. It is very pathetic to note the statement made by Sarath Fonseka that the President was not at all worth when compared to Prabhakaran who killed members of the Maha Sangha and brutally slaughtered innocent village women and toddlers and also branded as the world’s deadliest murderous tiger leader. Such a statement should not have been made by such a person. The Thera said that he was fully aware that when the two daughters of Fonseka were in the United States for more than three years, the President extend all facilities to them even giving 3000 Dollars to each of them to support their education. In addition special Army security was accorded.
The Ven. Piyananda Thera said he is deeply concerned over the statements made by Fonseka despite the support given by the President. He called on Fonseka to discard ill-will and enmity. This was the main reason that he had reached such a low level.
