By Colombo Telegraph –
A mob, lead by a group of Buddhist monks has attacked the Head office and Stores Complex of Mssrs Fashion Bug situated at Pepiliyana Junction, a short while ago, at around 8 pm SL time (Thursday 28th March).The excuse used to attack this complex was that a 15 year old girl had been raped inside the building.
“The accusation that a rape had taken place is a baseless one as can be proved by the close circuit cameras which were installed as well as the inquiry carried out by the Police.The camera tells the real story on how these mob of fanatics had entered the building. The Special Task Force had to intervene to bring this attack under control.” said sources close to the owners.
“There was a false allegation of a rape occurring inside the Fashion Bug Complex in Pepiliyana. A rape did take place in the neighbourhood, where the accused has been remanded and the situation has been handled in the correct manner. The mob went out of control after intervening in that incident and turned on Fashion Bug.” the owners told the Colombo Telegraph.
This is another, in a series of attacks against Muslims as Fashion Bug owns by a family of Sri Lankan Muslims. The mob had gone on a rampage setting clothes that were in the store on fire and shouting obscenities at the girls who worked in this complex, saying that they should be ashamed to work in an enterprise owned by Muslims and to never come back. The mob had also manhandled some of the girls.

Lets see what action the Govt and the Police take. Will they arrest those responsible?
Best to take legal action against those responsible and those aiding and abetting. The evidence is there from the mouths of BBS and others. Also SMS messages sent around.
If Govt does not take action file charges for HR violations against the SOD.

This is the time Malwatu, Asgiri, Amarapura and Ramanya Maha naayaka theros to jointly and openly condemn this at a well published news conference. We can’t rely on Gota or any other politiciens as they have other motives and want to do fishing in the trouble waters. This is where right minded citizens of all religeons and races should get up and condemn this deplorable act.

This government has become thick skinned and power intoxicated. If not, how can it have permitted the Pepiliyana incident to take place, yesterday? The hue and cry against the activities of the BBS and its likes, has had no effect on the government. As Dayan Jayatilleke alludes in the second part of his interview published today in the Daily Mirror, something has wrong with this government in its second term. The wrongs are indeed multiplying by the day.
Nero is fiddling while Rome is starting to burn.

May I be permitted to point out that it is not the first time since independence that “something has gone wrong with government”.
Every government had had this problem of going wrong. This is not the first time and won’t be the last.
I am happy that you are now being able to see through charade of majoritarian rule and Mahawamsa mindset.

Lest we forget weren’t you the chap who came as part of the “diaspora” (having enjoyed the fruits of living away during the war) to “laud” this government and esp Gota?
Why complain now????

We are back in the Stone Age and living in a tribal society. MR and Gota are tribal leaders followed by set of cannibals in yellow robes.I am a Buddhist and a Sinhalese. I say this without any fear or favor for these vultures who are insulting the great Buddhist philosophy and the Sinhala Race.

I was one of the people who celebrated the victory of the Government forces over LTTE. Now I realise the pain underwent by the innocent people in the Tamil community after seeing the systemic ethnic cleansing by the racially and religiously motivated government which governed by a bunch of idiots with the full support by the high officials in the defense department, even the Gotapaya Rajapakshe. As a muslim , Now i fear to live in Colombo.

The first major ethnic riot in SL was against Muslims by the Sinhalese. When those savages were arrested by the British, it was a Tamil politician, Ponnambalam Ramanathan, that helped to free them.. And the Sinhalese expressed their gratitude by massacring Tamils.

The lord buddha would be cursing the mob with monks who lead this unbuddhist cowardly attack on muslim own fashion bug on false allegation created by them to find a reason to attack.This type of activity they learn from miyanmar monks. I would say this buddhist taliban monks are actually not attacking muslims but they are attacking the high moral values and principles of buddism. I wish long life for this government to support this kind of activity. Make sure you are destroying the buddhism by your own hand from this country and the hearts of the good people all over the world.long live patali chmpika, wimal weerawansa and gota association with BBS.

The mob of racists want an excuse to enter a legal establishment,so they lied (EVERY TIME THEY ARE LYING)saying that a girl was raped,why dont they enter brothels ,hotels and the buddhist areas where so many illegal
activities are happening.If the Rajapakse s are not involved,then why are they keeping quiet? MR gota jhu Bbs sr the racists can destroy the muslims and there establishments,but THE ALMIGHTY ALLAH is destroying by sending Tornadoes unheard of in srilanka,to many parts of the country,and what happened to the national museum? the oil storage in peliyagoda,what a loss these are giving the country .

Disgusted Citizen / March 29, 2013
I was born in Sri Lanka, I was educated in a Buddhists school. I had lot of friends who are Buddhists.
The way I see it that this is created by the government to make the masses to turn their heads so that they will not look at the cost of living. From the other side the tamasha’s will carry on.
What ever cast religion we are, I am a Sri Lankan.
There are black sheep’s in all communities. All preach the same.Live in peace. Do good so that good returns back to you etc.
Anyway, What is destined will happen and the creator’s of these racist issues should understand, that they do have a family and what goes around will come around. Life is short and we are not going to take all our belonging with us when we are 06 feet under.
God bless Sri Lanka.

mohamed fazly ilyas / March 29, 2013
I hope the authorities take an immediate step to arrest such situations which otherwise could turn very ugly. The accusation is very filmsy and if such an incident has taken place the Police station of the area is well capable of handling such an issue.
Why the Police has not taken steps to question or arrest these inciters is a worrying problem. If this goes on without arrest, we will soon have another bloodshed and communal riots which will not help the Country and its economy which is reeling.
I wonder if these was the teaching the Lord Buddha imparted to his followers.All religions have preached peace and co-existence. Buddhism and its principles are on test,please let sanity prevail. I hope common sense will prevail and steps will be taken to end this fiasco.
… hatred begets hatred.

Buddhist monks lead attacks on non Budhists. Is this Buddhism?
The biggest lie of the 21st Century “Muslims spit 3 times on food before giving to Buddhists” coming from the mouth of Buddhist Monk. if Charecter of Buddhists decline to such low level in this modern age Budhism will decline number of Buddhists also will shrink leading to the final extinction of the race very soon The bad impression given by Buddhist Monks can be devastating to Buddhism

They are bent on provoking a backlash which will escalate into yet another civil war. This time they are taking on a group who will make the LTTE look like a kindergarten tea party.

Thrishantha – Evil has a way to self destruct itself. Until such time we hope the Muslims have the patience to put up with this nonsense and rise up and demand accountability. The Tamils were cornered and thus the birth of the ferocious Tiger. It costed 30 years of misery. This is what the enemies of Sri Lanka would wish.
