Ven.Medagoda Abayathissa thero stated that the act of going on ‘pinda patha’ to collect funds to liberate Lalith Weeratunga and Anusha Palpita is not something that should be frowned upon by the Buddhist clergy.

Meanwhile, MP Nalin Bandara stated that Buddhist clergy should not participate in a movement dedicated to raise funds for two criminals and that the chief Mahanayake’s should take stern action against monks collecting funds.
