It is the LTTE outfit which totally destroyed religious harmony. The Tamil National Alliance is engaged in an effort to denigrate the entire country overlooking it. Parliamentarians claim that it is a conspiracy to smear Sri Lanka’s image internationally. They were addressing a media briefing in Colombo today.
Minister Maithripala Sirisena said it was during the conflict period that religious harmony was seriously hindered. Who destroyed religious harmony at that time. The LTTE killed hundreds of devotees near the Sri Maha Bodhi and unleashed a massive disaster impacting religious harmony. They also launched attacks on many mosques and churches. He queried as to how many priests in Hindu Kovils were murdered by the LTTE. It was after the 30-year war that religious harmony was consolidated in the country during the reigns of President Rajapaksa. The Minister said that the Opposition has today placed trust in those who are attempting to destabilize the country by destroying peace and development.
Deputy Minister Faizer Mustapaha said that when talking about Geneva they have to look back at the history of the TNA. The Northern Provincial Council secured votes by spreading hatred. But it should be mentioned that the youth of that regions are with them. He said that the TNA did not issue any statement when Muslims were brutally slaughtered in their areas. No political alliance can be formed between the TNA and Muslim community as the TNA surfaced with LTTE collaboration. He claimed that the TNA was now attempting to approach the Muslims to achieve political mileage.
