We are surprized to see how a responsible person like Hon Governor writing a such letter giving false information. This will tarnish the image of Bodu bala Sena and create unnecessary fear among ordinary Muslims. As a responsible person with his office using \u00a0public funds he should have checked the authenticity of this information before giving so much publicity to false information. He could have easily checked the validity of this information from our office located very close to his office before making such statements.&#8221; (sic)<\/p>\n<p>Related posts;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a title=\"On BBS Claim: Get Ready To Celebrate Vesak At Kuragala\" href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/on-bbs-claim-get-ready-to-celebrate-vesak-at-kuragala\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">On BBS Claim: Get Ready To Celebrate Vesak At Kuragala<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Rajapaksa Power-Plays: Cheating Tamils And Demonising Muslims\" href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/rajapaksa-power-plays-cheating-tamils-and-demonising-muslims\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Rajapaksa Power-Plays: Cheating Tamils And Demonising Muslims<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a title=\"Midweek Politics: The Battle For Sacred Ground\" href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/midweek-politics-the-battle-for-sacred-ground\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Midweek Politics: The Battle For Sacred Ground<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a title=\"BBS To Destroy Kuragala Islam Religious Site \u2013 Alavi Mowlana Asked MR To Intervene\" href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/bbs-to-destroy-kuragala-islam-religious-site-alavi-mowlana-asked-mr-to-intervene\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">BBS To Destroy Kuragala Islam Religious Site \u2013 Alavi Mowlana Asked MR To Intervene<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/bbs-to-destroy-kuragala-islam-religious-site-alavi-mowlana-asked-mr-to-intervene\/kuragala\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-87130\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-87130\" title=\"Kuragala\" src=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Kuragala.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Kuragala.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Kuragala-227x300.jpg 227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/bbs-to-destroy-kuragala-islam-religious-site-alavi-mowlana-asked-mr-to-intervene\/kuragala1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-87133\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-87133\" title=\"Kuragala1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Kuragala1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"637\" height=\"659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Kuragala1.jpg 637w, https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Kuragala1-289x300.jpg 289w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":87166,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,2187,1,2375],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-most-popular","category-news","category-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;Governor Mowlana Lies And Promotes Hate&#039;, &#039;We Had No Plans To Destroy Kuragala&#039;
