Mahanayake Theras urged to issue ’’Sanga Order’’ against Govt.
The National Bikkhu Front (NBF) today requested the Mahanayake Theras to issue a "Sanga Order" to force the government to hold the Local Government election, which was postponed indefinitely, at a closer date convenient to the Elections Commission.
NBF Secretary Ven. Vakamulle Uditha Thera told reporters that they paid a visit to the Mahanayake Theras today and handed over a four-point letter.
The prelate said they brought to the notice of the Mahanayake Theras about the undemocratic and dictatorial actions of the government and indefinite postponement of the LG polls and suppressing people's protests to win their democratic right.
Ven. Uditha Thera said as the first demand, they requested the Chief Prelates to convene Karaka Sangha Sabha of the three Chapters and take an immediate decision against the government’s undemocratic, suppressive actions and moves to postpone elections.
The Thera said they also requested the Mahanayake Theras to convene provincial and divisional level Nayake theras of the three chapters including other Bikkhus and hold a Sanga convention.
“We also urged the Nayaka Theras to issue a “Sanga Order” to the government to hold the indefinitely postponed LG polls at a closer date convenient to the elections commission. And reveal what action people should take against the government, if the government fails to adhere to the order of the Maha Nayake Theras, ” the Thera said.(Ajith Siriwardana)
