What is happening to Buddhist there is not conveyed to the outside world, because there is no media for them , Ven.Virathu Thera claimed . We are not going to allow Rohingya refugees in Srilanka . As Srilanka has signed various agreements with UN, we may be compelled to accept them temporarily at the request of UN .
When Mijibur Rahumans continued to complain to foreign missions in Srilanka that Muslims find it difficult to live in Srilanka due to problems created, how can we accept Rohingy refugees in Srilanka? he asked.
When questioned about collecting funds to rescue people, who were punished by the Courts of Srilanka, he said it is a disgrace to Buddhist monks and Buddhism . He doesn’t approve it at all.
