Very good. SLs are unaware of the evil effects of this so called MCCA. Why sign this in a hurry? Why these guys can’t wait until the Prez election is over? Has this debated adequately in the parliament? Answer is no? SL is not a private property of RW or Mangala Samaraweera. This is Fishy!
This Thera should be let to die.
What does he know about the Millienium Challenge Corporation Agreement?
Can he tell us, in his death-bed, how SL’s soverienghnity has been compromised?
I say again, if Yahapalana has any ba**s left, they should let this Thera die.
Reply to Andrada,
Unfortunately, we are not a country with intelligent politicians who are patriotic about the country!
We should support the Venerable U.
Kashyapa Thero instead of criticising him.
He is doing a great service to the nation, and future generations by bringing the MCC to public attention and highlighting the importance of saying “NO” to a pact which will irreversibly devastate our national security and national sovereignty!
This fast is the only way our Sangha can save us from an imaginable calamity!
Just like anti-Sri Lanka UN resolutions that Mangali and Ponil agreed to and signed without due regard to their true implications on harming our national security and allowing foreign powers to interfere in our internal affairs, this MCC is also bound to be another such trap and a sell-out! Maru Sira better step in and do something here as it is he who created this mess in the first place when went to sleep with tick infested dogs and woke up with ticks all over!
what about SOFA Agreement who was it that signed it, that agreement gives permission for American troops to come and go without any permission, by please talk about that too, why is it in only Sri-Lanka Monks protest, what about in Japan and other Buddhist countries do monks do politics or have hunger strikes, is this limited to only Sri-Lankan Buddhist monks, is it a privilege given to Sri-Lankan Monks in Sri-Lankan Buddhism to practice politics be on elections stages take Political sides preach according to the necessities of each political party and agenda and other worldly affairs please some one explain.
Reply to concerned:
Japan and most developed nations have EDUCATED POLITICIANS and the MAJORITY community drive the country forward in a unified manner!
National security and national sovereignty are sacred; not to be jeopardised. Politicians are careful to respect and support their military always. None of the above happens in Sri Lanka. Therefore, like it or not, Buddhist priests have a pivotal role to play in Sri Lanka; one of protecting the country and our welfare.
The day this stops, is the day we should start to worry!
A Koththu Roti in Sri Lanka is around 200 Rs. The land we Yaha Palanaya going to release under MCC value a perch at 180 Rs.
