I do not admire the behavior of the incumbent government as it is treading in the wrong direction. Therefore, we must join hands to launch the Second War for Independence without politics and racism, the National Movement for the Protection of the Nation Chairman Ven. Elle Gunawansa Thera said.
He said this after a discussion with the Mawbima Democratic Party Leader Nimalan Vishvanathan in Colombo yesterday.
Ven.Gunawansa said we will not get the freedom until we divide ourselves ethnically as Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and other nationalities. As long as our country is divided racially, international forces will come into the country and plunder our resources.
"We should fight to protect the resources of our land. We should protect our valuable forest reserve. We should take this nation into our hands. The country is ruined after the politicians took over. About 20 institutions in Colombo are set to be sold now," the prelate said.
We supported establishing this government, but the government is now heading in the wrong direction, he added. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
