Announcement of Prelates’ Common Stand on New Constitution After Their Return From Abroad.

Ven. Dhammadassi Anunayake Thera while speaking at a ceremony held at the Pitiyegedara Rajamaha Viharaya, Wattegama on October 20 said, the country today is witnessing a rare opportunity, where the two main parties had come together to form a national government. Everyone should get together to introduce a lasting common national policy, which would not change with the change of governments in future.

The Anunayake Thera said problems should be resolved through dialogue. Therefore, the background should be prepared to protect and safeguard Sinhala Buddhists and members of other communities and strengthen religious harmony in the country.

Malwatte and Asgiriya Chief Prelates are now abroad. After their return from abroad, the common stand of the Malwatte and Asgiriya Chapters on the new Constitution will be announced after the members of the Karaka Sangha Sabhas of the two Chapters have discussions with them, said Ven. Anamaduwe Dhammadassi Anunayake Thera of theAsgiriya Chapter.
