It is reported that the Secretary of the Ministry of Buddha Sasana, Religious and Cultural Affairs, Mr. Somaratne Vidanapathirana said that the publicizing of solitary incidents in temples disturbs the society unnecessarily, and that the law will have to be enforced against those who behave unnecessarily or release such incidents to the media.
He has stated that it is wrong to attack the monk and the two women in the incident that occurred in a temple in Kaduwela Navagamuwa area and that care should be taken when releasing such incidents on social media.
It has also been said that the Maha Nayaka Theras should make a decision about the title of the event and that the Ministry of Buddha Shasana will not intervene in it.
