Ven. Galagodaaththe Gnanasara Thera, who was released last week on a presidential pardon, pledged to reveal the names with evidence of some others linked to National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ) suicide bombers responsible for the Easter Sunday carnage.

“I will not only just name them, but petition the United Nations against the growing threat of extremism”, the Thera noted, adding “we will eradicate these elements.”

Responding to questions from the media in Colombo, the prelate said the Sinhalese need not get the permission of Muslims to ban the female attire ‘Purda’ and ‘Burqa’.

“Sinhalese don’t have to consult Muslim women to ban Islamic dresses worn by them. This is our country and we don’t have to be guided by what they believe is the proper dress code”, Ven. Gnanasara Thera said.
