General Secretary of the Bodhu Bala Sena (BBS) organization,
Ven. Galagodaththe Gnanasara Thero says the country’s national flag, the Lion
flag needs to be changed.
He observed that the Lion flag is extremist as it has
differentiated the communities in the country.
The Thero explained in an interview with Lanka Herald that
the national flag should not have two columns for minority communities as it
is an extremist stand point.
“If a national flag tries to assign colours for communities
living in a country, then multi-ethnic countries like India would never have
been able to have a flag,” Ven. Gnanasara Thero said.
The BBS General Secretary also criticized former President
Mahinda Rajapaksa for saying that he had failed to conduct investigations into
allegations leveled against the organization.
“We are ashamed to hear that,” Ven. Gnanasara Thero said
adding that it was demeaning for a head of state to make such a statement.
