Mihintale Raja Maha Vihara Chief Prelate Valahagunawewa Dhammarathana likened monks in universities to the Taliban.

The Thera made these comments stating that laws should be drafted to limit the number of years students can engage in academic activities at universities.

“They can engage in politics, but in a way that doesn’t harm others. Their actions are despised by the people and it reflects badly on the entire Sangha community,” he said. (Kanchana Kumara Ariyadasa)
