<\/a><\/p>\nThe action expected by the government against Wahhabism at this point, appears to be the removal of Muslim politicians M L A M Hizbullah, Rishard Bathiudeen and Azath Salley from their positions.<\/p>\n
Speaking to media this afternoon after his visit to Athuraliye Rathana<\/strong><\/a> thera who is on the third day of his protest fast in Kandy, Galagoda Atte Gnanasara<\/strong><\/a> issued an ultimatum to the government.<\/p>\n \u201cI give time until noon tomorrow to the government…if there is no action, they will be able to witness pandemonium (sanakeli) islandwide,\u201d he told the media, while the crowd around him chanted \u2018saadhu, saadhu, saadhu\u2019.<\/p>\n Gnanasara alleges he is armed with video proof, of Eastern Governor Hizbullah helping three individuals who assisted terrorist Zaharan flee the East soon after the bombings.<\/p>\n \u201cI have informed this to the President as well…So I tell him, either leave or be prepared to be ousted from your position,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Gnanasara also added he will not allow fasting Rathana thera, to grow weak because of three thug politicians. However, it is not long since Gnanasara said Salley has understood the dangers of Islamic extremism that Gnanasara warned him about, months ago.<\/p>\n \u201cRathana thera is my teacher in the national movement. We may have ideological differences but we stand united before the Muslim issue\u2026,\u201d he said while adding, \u201cIf the terrorist threat of Wahabism mania and violence is not stopped, it will root itself for another century.\u201d<\/p>\n
