Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has reportedly instructed the IGP to assign a CID Police team to investigate the act of damaging several Buddha statues in the Mawanella area.
Informed government sources said the Prime Minister also instructed the Police chief to take stern action against those responsible for the incident.
Police have so far arrested nine suspects over the incident and further investigations are still underway.
President Maithripala Sirisena, who is currently on a personal holiday overseas, has telephoned UNP Chairman Minister Kabir Hashim and asked about the incident.
Meanwhile, the All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama (ACJU), issuing a statement, strongly condemned the act of religious blasphemy that occurred recently in the Mawanella Area.
“The ACJU considers this act of damaging of the Buddha statue, which is worshipped by the majority Buddhists living in this country, as a deed of damaging the mutual understanding and reconciliation among the communities. The ACJU hereby reiterates humiliating other religions by damaging the religious icons of worship is against the teachings of Islam,” Ash-Shaikh M.M.A. Mubarak, General Secretary of the ACJU, said in the statement.
The statement also added,”These types of misdeeds may result in creating unnecessary commotions in the country, where the Buddhists, Hindus, Christians and Muslims are living together in unity and reconciliation.
Therefore, the ACJU requests the authorities to take legal action against the offenders whoever they are and implement justice, and the ACJU also requests His Excellency the President, Hon. Prime Minister and Inspector General of Police to take the necessary measures to maintain law and order at this situation, not allowing any evil opportunists taking the law into their hands.”

Sharma how true. Before CID could start their investigations our local Sherlock Wimal has solved the puzzle. It is TNA , diaspora and Tamil parties who vandalized in Mawanella. Guys money saved. From now on please be advised, if there is any complicated cases to solve please call local agent 000 Wimal the retard.

Chv,
Wimal Buruwamsa also “solved” the 2/2=0, problem. Did his balls too dissolved, like those of Sirisena, when the unconstitutional coup failed?

Why doesn’t RW appoint a commission to look into this. He can then just forget about both the incident and the commission. It’s the UNP way.

This was done in a hotel by exchanging around 60000 rupees to Sinkela rowdies. CID is making inquiries .

It was pretty obvious that MR and Co., would create communal problems leading to riots since the governing party has the support of the minorities. This is why Sirisena insisted in keeping the Law and Ministry so that he can control the Police and direct their focus elsewhere and also prevent the real culprits from getting caught. This attempt is just the beginning of a major game plan as they are not going to give up that easily with that backstabbing President on their side.

ceylonee: if you don’t know how to spell the name of the majority race and the main religion of this island, it’s best you stay out if you’re already out and get out if you’re still in. We cannot conduct these serious conversations with imbeciles.

Donkeys on CT need not have any ‘evidence’ to formulate theories. They instantly declare who did what for which purpose seated in their arm chairs! Seems a god given talent. Lucky CT.

In Srilanka , a country that’s playing with people’s every aspect of life ,
designing new conspiracies has become a must ! All efforts to provoke
them miserably ended in failure . But some elements are busy working
day and night to take the country into world focus ! The incident got the
hallmark of a plot to provoking the majority instead of minority which
has been calculated an easy job. Nine Muslims involved according to
reports and all of them are caught , produced in court and remanded but
the country doesn’t know anything other than their identity yet and this
where politics come into play ! More than anyone else Muslims are
nervous to know the facts . They are being targeted without an end just
for being Muslim ! And it is becoming unavailable everyday ! Is this part
of country’s development process ?

MS has allocated 43 institutions to be under his direct control. Police comes under the direct control of MS.
Can RW issue any orders to IGP?
Both must realise that the need of the hour is an INDEPENDENT police service.

Hundreds of Hindu temples have been destroyed by Muslims in the East ..acres of lands belonging to Tamils are being swallowed with the help of Sinhala police by Muslims daily in the East.
Not a dog bark.
But Buddhist statues were damaged in this cursed land where Buddhism has been commercialized long ago, see the prompt action by Sinhala government.
If Muslims in the country need lands send an email to Prince Salman of Saudi Arabia he will send
A 380 planes to take all, he needs soldiers to kill innocent Muslims in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq.
Cheers

Why during Digana problem
Ranil was not calling CID for prob and only when some one from minority community did a crime make voice?
Is it because the perpetrator of digana is part of police, politicians and monks and prepland what this mawanalla act is based of foolishness.
Ranil if you are true PM of the citizens don’t act racistly in combatting crimes. Shame on you Ranil. You are not even deserve to be called Mr. Similar to MR and Gota.
Shame on you.

This is something to provoke communal disturbances. I think CID should have an eye in Wimal Weerawansa who is up to any mischief and disrupt Ranil’s government..

Chingkallam Police and armed forces ,government officials, encourage or keep quite and do nothing when South Indian immigrant Thullukan destroys and vandalizes statues of Saiva/Hindu deities/gods and Hindu/Saiva temples at Mattakallapu , Amparai, Kalmunai, Akkaraipattu, Samathurai, Ninthavur, Pothuvil ,Thirumalai in the east and parts of Mannar in the north and then build Palli Vasal(mosques) on these sites.. They also allow and encourage Chingkallam Puttha Pikku and other Chingkallams to install Puthan Chillai( statue) and build Viharai every where in the north and east , like a MacDonald’s franchise, using false flimsy excuses and concocted history produced by Chingkalla archeological department , on private Thamizh lands on the premises of Saiva/Hindu kovils. Even Christian churches and statues are not spared , as these churches and statues are considered Thamizh too in the north and east, just like the humans, plants and animals. Therefore just game for destruction and vandalization. However the same Chingkallam Police , armed forces, politicians and establishment and Poutha Pikkus and Mahanayake that do not do nothing/turn a blind eye and many times encourage the destruction and vandalization of Hindu and at times Christian religious symbols in the north and east by Thullukans and Poutha Pikkus and other Chingkallams , get very angry and upset and want to create riots on innocent Thullukans and start enquiries on the destruction of a statue of Putha Perumal in Mawanella allegedly by Thullkans whom they encourage or do nothing when they destroy Hindu/Christian religious symbols in the north and east, as they are Thamizh , so deserve destruction. They say Poutha Neri is higher than Saiva Neri or Christhava matham , especially the variety practised by Thamizh, so need all the protection and adoration by the state and these two do not , so Thullkans and Chingkalla Poutha Pikkus and other Chingkallams can do what they want in Thamizh North East.

Pandi Kutti / December 31, 2018
Imbecile I have spelt the name correctly Chingkallam ( meaning the land of the red or copper coloured ) is the original Thamizh word for the island and the original semi Thamizh Elu speaking population from Chingkallam were called Chingkallavar. Sinhale is the Pali/Prakrit corrupted version of Chingkallam and Chingkallavar. Understood imbecile. Poutha Matham or Putha Neri is the Thamizh word for Buddhism and if you cannot respect or understand Thamizh from which your Chingkallam originated by corrupting our beautiful classical Thamizh with Pali and Sanskrit then you are the imbecile and not me. Everything about Chingkallam is Thamizh. Ancient Thamizh poets including modern Barathiar called the island by its original ancient Thamizh name” Chingkallava Theevu ” not by its corrupted Pali version “Sinhala”. Chingkallam only became a majority thanks to the Thamizh Chola/Pandian Tamil invasions during ancient and medieval times when many of these invaders and migrants got assimilated as Chingkallams and then during the Portuguese and Dutch and era , hundreds of thousands of low caste and untouchable Thamizh from South India were imported as labour and settled on the southern and western coasts, and the descendants of these Indian Thamizh low castes now call themselves Chingkallams and make up half the present day Chingkallams. Thank the Indian Thamizh, especially their low castes like Palan , Paraiyan, Nadar or Nalavan, Paravan , Mukuvan, Karaiyan, Thimilar, ETC, for making the Chingkallam a majority in the island. This is why Chingkallams share a 70% DNA with Indian Thamizh. You are from the southern coastal town of Matara and it is full of these so called Chingkallams descended from Indian Thamizh low caste imports. May be you are one of them. As for Poutha Matham , it is the Thamizh who contributed a lots to Poutha Matham and its spread to SE and NE Asia and Chingkallams did not do anything. Even your Mahavihara was full of Thamizh Poutha Pikkus. Please read history Chingkalla imbecile.

ok Kutti. Let me explain things in your language. We have a Chingkallavar kalutai (donkey) called Wimal Weerawansa. And we have a Thamizh kaḻutai called Pandi Kutti. They live by consuming ancient Sanskrit & Thamize scripts respectively without understanding what’s on them, and much less knowing what is on the other man’s script. Thamize scripts must be as beautiful as Sanskrit scripts, I have no doubt. But in the hands of donkey’s 2000 years later neither of them are of much good to my country. My loyalty is to this island & all its people living there this moment. All else is secondary. ( I apologize for calling you imbecile. You seem educated. But donkey is the word I use for Wimal Weerawansa – Good for the geese, good for the gander)

You are a Kaluthai and I am a Pandi Kutti and do not mistake me or associate me with a donkey, we pigs find it very insulting. Snort.Humans love pigs but largely illtreat donkeys. They keep us as pets, they love to eat us, bacon, ham, salami, prosciutto, and nice pork curry, they just can’t be without tasting us, they indulge us and many over indulged humans tend to look like us. Please visit me at lovely pig sty and I will snort out lots of Classical Thamizh poetry to you. I could also recite to you ” The Own and the Pussycat ” explain to you the wonders of a nice mud bath.
Je suis jolie petit cochon, ( I am a pretty little piglet)
Pandi Kutti est mon nom,(Pandi Kutti is my name)
Je vis dans une belle ferme et suis l’animal de compagnie de mon fermier( I live in a nice farm and am my farmer’s pet)
Ma vie est si belle, je ne serai pas transformé en bacon pour les humains méchants à manger(My life is so beautiful, I will not be turned into bacon for nasty humans to eat)
Je lis des poèmes classiques tamouls.( I read classic Thamizh poems)
Puis couine de joie et roule sur la boue, (then squeak with joy and roll on the mud)
Oh la la la, la vie est si belle, ( Oh la la la life is so beautiful)
S’il vous plaît visitez-moi( Please visit me)
Aimer Pandi Kutti( love Pandi Kutti)

Now the chickens are coming home to roost. The Sinhalese have always been using the islands
Muslims ( who are in reality South Indian Tamils by ethnicity but for political and economic advantage want to use their religion and the miniscule amount of Arab blood in them, as their primary identity and ethnicity. Not done anywhere else in the world, but deliberately done in the island first by the British and then by the Sinhalese to divide and rule and to deliberately create a rift amongst the Tamils based on religion) against the island’s indigenous Tamils from the north and east, as a means to contain them and deny their rights. They have deliberately encouraged these Dravidian immigrants from South India, who unlike the indigenous Tamils have no justifiable claim to a homeland, to kill, commit ethnically cleanse/commit war crimes, destroy Hindu temples and vandalize statues of Hindu deities and unlawfully appropriate thousands of acres of Tamil lands in the north and east, especially in the east, in order to destroy the Tamils and their ancient historic claim to their homeland. They deliberately started to encourage these immigrant Dravidian South Indian Muslims now masquerading, behaving and claiming to be Arabs, who only came to the Tamil east a few centuries ago, as refugees fleeing persecution from the Portuguese and then ironically from the Sinhalese to claim large chunks of the Tamil east, as an exclusive Islamic homeland.

Rohan / December 30, 2018
Part 2 : These people have no right to these lands historically or in anywhere, and the Sinhalese had no intention to honour this but deliberately encourage them to destroy and dilute the just claim of the Tamils. The Muslim claim to parts of the east is like Muslim Pakistani, Indian Bangladeshi and other South Asian immigrants to Britain now claiming many British cities in the English midlands as their homelands and stating the native English have no right to these lands, as they have become a majority in many of these boroughs. You can see how absurd these claims are but these absurd claims are deliberately entertained by the Sri Lankan state and their allies, to deliberately deny the island’s Tamils their just rights. The Sinhalese armed forces /police and establishment together with the local Muslim politicians and establishment have been used for all these anti Tamil activities and now it has come to bite the Tamils. Good you sowed evil and encouraged Islamic extremism, to contains and deny the Tamils their rights, now it has grown and stated to bite you.
