The Sinhala Buddhist group, Sinhala Ravaya, pledged to fast unto death in order to safeguard the rights of Sinhalese, reports ColomboPage.
The group said they would be demanding that the government abolition the 13th Amendment, guarantee Sinhala ownership in Northern and Eastern provinces, introduce a constitution founded on Buddhist law, halt animal slaughter, reject an 'all religion' concept, close all liquor stores, stop the conversion of Buddhists to other religions and 'eradicate' Muslim terrorism.

We need your support
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
