“Morris”, the uncle of Manju Nisshanka who is an activist of the group that released the video of Nathasha Edirisooriya, is a member of the LTTE diaspora, Balangoda Kassapa Thera alleged.
Edirisooriya is currently in remand prison for allegedly making a controversial statement.
Addressing a press conference, Kassapa Thera said not only Edirisooriya, but also others behind the incident should be arrested.
“Who is Manju Nishshanka? What is his relationship with Nalaka Godahewa? How Manju’s uncle sends money from the US? They are related to the LTTE diaspora. His uncle ‘Morris’ sends millions of rupees from the diaspora. Once, Manju has offered Mr. Anura Kumara to spend even three billion rupees. We respect his decision not to bow down at that time. The LTTE diaspora and ‘Born Again’ gang are behind this. The CID should conduct a proper investigation and arrest them.”
Natasha’s script by the USA – Wimal Weerawansa
Meanwhile, MP Wimal Weerawansa said that Natasha Edirisooriya has been employed in a project of the US State Department as well as USAID, and that she had been carefully groomed to insult Buddhism.
He expressed this in response to the questions asked by the journalists after attending the party leaders meeting of the Supreme Lanka Coalition at the Communist Party headquarters in Borella.
Question: Who is behind plans to insult Buddhism? the government or international forces?
Answer: Natasha has worked on a project for the US Department of State. In addition, she has worked for USAID. They are the ones who say “Suddhodana’s lad” and insult Buddhism. They are being properly groomed, built and scripted. This is not an innocent operation.”
