“The attached photograph clearly shows that UNP leaders are lying that  Sirikotha was not used to tarnish the image of Bodu Bala Sena. Here some of the UNP supporters exhibiting some photos to show Bodu Bala Sena was involved in terror acts . We categorically deny that BBS has anything to do with some of the edited photos displayed here.” the group’s Chief Executive Officer Dilanthe Withanage told Colombo Telegraph.

Sending a email he said; “The following Video Clip clearly show that Bodu Bala Sena entered to Sirikotha peacefully. BBS spoke to the Leaders of the UNP Bhiiku Front  when entered to UNP Headquarters. The suddenly organized thugs attacked these monks who came to this place peacefully. Some monks and officials of BBS were hospitalized, Media equipments lost and damaged  during this attack. But UNP and NGO Propaganda shows to the world that BBS had demonstration and entered the premises forcefully. This is clearly violation of human rights of buddhists by UNP and Those NGOs organized this act of violence.”
