Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa says that it is the responsibility of the government to give the proper place to Buddhism.

He mentioned this to the media following an event held in Ambalangoda.

Through the 20th Amendment to the Constitution the status and the protection of Buddhism is being removed, Rajapaksa said.

Meanwhile the government is attempting to wash off its hands of the responsibility of nurturing Buddhism, he further said.
