Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president and former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi has deplored the reported demolition of a mosque at Dambulla in Matale district of Sri Lanka recently.

Responding to a reporter’s question on Sunday, he said there were different versions of the incident.

While one had it that the mosque was demolished by 2,000 Buddhist monks; another claimed that the demolition was ordered by the Sri Lankan government for converting the area into a Buddhist shrine. The religious bigotry had been condemned by a number of leaders in Sri Lanka. Mr. Karunanidhi alleged that the Rajapaksa government was keen on Sinhala domination, according priority only to Sinhalese and Buddhism.

It was only for this that all Tamils had been driven out of their original habitations and the Sinhalese were settled there. The army was keeping strict vigil over the rest of the Tamil areas.

Violence had been unleashed against the religious and ethnic minorities and desecration of Hindu temples and churches were being resorted to, he lamented.

“The civilised world will not accept such an attack on people of other religions and such actions are deplorable.”

    It is high time that GOSL settle the Muslims that were displaced in the north by the eelamist terror movement.. and funding the building of a great Nothern mosque.. and as compensation give more land for farming purposes to those muslim communities espically Land of those eelamist terrorist who now reside in notorious places such as scarborough, norway, Australia etc etc.. They who have supported the eelamist terror which cleanesed the land of the north of its muslim and sinhala popoulation must forfeit as they are not fit and proper people to have land in a UNITED sri Lanka.. GOSL must do this as ASAP.

    Eelam is a fundamental rights of the people in the north & East.

    They have the right to decide on that… They are not animals…

    If you have guts…. then hold an independent referendum to decide over this.. But GoSL will never allow it.. Bcoz it knows that no minorities like to live under its cruel rule..

      @The last dinasaur.. Trust me When The Natural habitants are resettled back to their points of origin.. Such as the Muslim, Sinhala, Bugher and malay which the terrorist eelam movement ethnically cleanesed.. then why not hold a referendum .. as this eelamist terrorist movement which is based of the principles of ethnically clensing will loose… And let me say this.. The Eelamist tamil is no friend of the muslim.. espically with their 30 years of violence and ethnically clensing against the muslims stand as a record.
