While condemning the statement by Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) MP Bimal Ratnayake, Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) General Secretary Venerable Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara Thera said yesterday that the JVP is engaging in actions that are detrimental to the country by brainwashing young people.
Addressing the media, he said the ongoing detrimental process by the JVP of brainwashing the young generation is similar to the destruction done by Zaharan.
Bimal Ratnayake has claimed that the BBS and the Sri Lanka Thowheed Jama’ath (SLTJ) were formed in 2012 with the support of the army intelligence units, who support the Rajapaksas, and under one DIG. He claimed that those organizations were paid by the army’s intelligence. He also claimed that Zaharan acted after the BBS issued the OK pass.
“The young generation used to accept these kinds of statements as they were clueless about past activities. The JVP does not have an ideology, and they do not try to understand the things we expose. We saw who was organized by the JVP during the Aragalaya,” the Thera said. These brainwashing activities lead to people killing each other, and spreading these ideologies on social media has become a threat to the entire Buddhist community, the thera said.
