BBS monks storm butchery

A group of monks from the Bodu Bala Sena stormed a butchery in Dematagoda today alleging that the meat being distributed from the location is from animals slaughtered without a license.
The monks said that the meat of over 300 animals which had been slaughtered illegally were being sent out to shops from the Dematagoda premises.
Officers from the Colombo Municipal Council visited the location and initiated investigations into the meat. The police also arrived at the location.
In January the Bodu Bala Sena monks stormed a hotel in Beruwala after receiving a tip that a party was being conducted using the name ‘Buddha bar’.
However when the monks reached the hotel the management of the hotel had rejected the claims.
The Venerable Galagodatthe Gnanasara Thera, who led the ’Bodu Bala Sena’ monks to the hotel had said they will not allow any bar to operate in Sri Lanka using the name of the Lord Buddha. (Colombo Gazette)
