Meanwhile, the Minister also criticised a controversial statement made by former Northern Province Chief Minister C.V.
Vigneswaran about Buddhism and Sri Lanka.
&We see that Vigneswaran is trying to trigger racial and communal tension.
Undoubtedly, every other religion has accepted that Sri Lanka is a Sinhala Buddhist country and this is the nerve centre of Buddhism.
Every other religion grows under the shade of Buddhism.
One must understand the reality instead of creating conflicts among religions,& he said.
