Colombo, May 12 (Daily Mirror) - It is clear that some Ministers seem determined to promote immorality and erode morality by perpetuating the illegal and immoral programmes initiated by former State Minister Diana Gamage, Venerable Omalpe Sobitha Thera said.

Addressing the media, the thera said that Diana Gamage does not seem to have done anything for the country.

"The only thing that was done was that she raised her voice about the promotion of ganja and the promotion of immorality," he said.

The conspiratorial act she tried to do by developing immorality in the country, destroying morals and showing the illusion of economic development has now stopped due to the court decision. But some Ministers want to continue those programmes, he added.

According to the court decision, the role of Diana Gama has been rejected. That character does not suit social leadership at all. Finally, since she is not a Sri Lankan, she has no right to engage in politics in this country, the thera said.

He is so busy dreaming of everything else, he has lost touch of what is happening inside his own religion in Sri Lanka where crooked politicians work with cooperation of equally crooked priests and where Sinhalese Buddhists are reputed to criminality, corruption and thuggery.

When you was in Parliament you did not speak about morals much. Why Now? Thoughts to speak about morals is good but keeping silent when you had the opportunity in Parliament is bad

Lanka is the only land where any clown can become an MP and swindle all the money, while the voters starve.

Religious Leaders Are At Fault Too Monday, 13 May 2024 07:25 AM

It’s already happening! He should take drive down Marine Drive and Colombo city after 10pm and witness it’s all there. So no point blaming ministers. Just ensure more policing is carried out for law and order to prevail. Also, it’s paramount religious leaders MUST NOT get into politics and devote solely on getting the people on the correct path to Behave, Be Humble and Practice Loving Kindness at All Times!

Who will check the MPs and Ministers? ARAGALAYA?? Monday, 13 May 2024 08:24 AM

It is no secret our MPs and Ministers are not angels and it is because of unlimited power, that add influence and money. Make them answerable to their activities and they will be cut to size. When they make an error, expose them. Will they do this on their own? or will their counterpart? They are of same feathers.

If you are a religious person, you shouldn't be taking sides with any of the political parties or sitting inside parliament. That's for rogues. Your place is a temple
