Battaramulla Seelarathana thero was accompanied by the extremist monk, Sri Thissapura Gunarathna Thero, who is behind the controversial establishment of a Buddhist vihara at a disputed land in Kokku'laay.
Seelarathana thero from Battaramulla is seen with Sri Thissapura Gunarathna Thero from Kokku'laay at Mukaththuvaaram on January 05, 2019
The visiting monk was donating supplies to the Sinhala settlers, who have encroached into Mukaththuvaaram, which is the northern tip of the lagoon-mouth of Kokku'laay and is situated at the border of the Northern and Eastern provinces.
Seelarathana thero is the leader of so-called Janasetha Peramuna. He is also running a Sinhala Buddhist housing organisation known as the Sri Parakum Housing Scheme Project.
The monk has been vocal in defending the genocidal state of Sri Lanka such as on the occasion of former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper boycotting the Commonwealth summit in 2013. The monk from Battaramulla at that time said many countries were violating the human rights and his boycott was unreasonable.
The racist monk is also known for criticising the human rights defenders and the Tamil and Muslim politicians, who even collaborate with the Sinhala rulers of the genocidal state, as ‘separatists’.
He was contesting the presidential elections in 2010 and 2015. However, he withdrew his candidacy and endorsed Mahinda Rajapaksa at the polls in 2010 as the hero of the Sinhala nation. Sarath Fonseka had betrayed the ‘country’, he claimed in 2010.
