The Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) after noting Israel’s support to Sri Lanka during its ‘successful war against terrorism,' warned that a counter protest would be launched if pro-Palestine protests occurred in Sri Lanka, reports the island.lk.
A senior spokesperson, on Monday, told the paper that, though the organisation had no relationship with the Jewish state, it felt the Sri Lankan government could not forget the assistance it received from Israel during the conflict.
Condemning the Sri Lankan government’s failure to prevent anti-Israel protests by Muslim groups, the spokesperson said that the government had been informed of BBS plans to launch counter protests.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
