Have the State authorities questioned the Principal and Rev. Dushantha Rodrigo (Bishop of Colombo) Chairman of the Board of Governors of Bishops College?
The College website [https://www.bishopscollege.lk/chairpersons-message/] proclaims that “The Rt. Rev. Dushantha Lakshman Rodrigo or ‘Bishop Dushy’ as he is known by all… accepted the opportunity to ‘lead his flock as the shepherd of his diocese’ as the 16th Bishop of Colombo in 2020.
Perhaps, the State authorities should question the “shepherd” of the flock as to why he allows his College premises and the stage to promote blasphemy against the Buddha, Buddhism and the Buddhist people of the country, by inviting such “ නූතන චිංචි මානවිකාවි“ in this recorded instance.
The Parliament and relevant authorities must inquire as to how many unrecorded orations to promote blasphemy against the Buddha, Buddhism and the Buddhist people of the country have been staged to public audiences in these premises before this, with the Holy Blessings of the Bishop of Colombo?

Bishop’s College is one of the oldest private Girls’ Schools in Sri Lanka. The school was founded by the then Anglican Bishop of Colombo, Bishop James Chapman (1845 to 1862) and his wife Frances, originally in 1857 as a mission school for girls of elite Christian families and other European residents.

Dilith Jayaweera is an old boy of the Roman Catholic bastion of St Aloysius’ College, Galle. He has not only made of parody of Prince Siddhartha stated wrong interpretations of Buddha Dharmaya, He said that “the Buddha solved problems of society of that era, meaning that therefore Buddhism is an obsolete philosophy inappropriate for modern society. The truth is Lord Buddha found solution to the eternal problems of karmic carryovers which brought unhappiness in rebirth. Hence the need to attain Nibbana to end this samsaric journey of unhappiness.
Jayaweera and Bishop Fernando should be taken to custody and dealt with through state law and order mechanisms.
