The Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRC) highlighted in a statement that a "dangerous national issue" had arisen in Sri Lanka as a result of religious tensions in the country.
The commission stressed concern over the fact that state institutions responsible for the implementation of the rule of law and ensuring peace are silent on this matter.
The commission also noted that political parties, groups or other organisations must not use the situation to advance their political motives and objectives.

The Human Rights Commission's comments come amidst a campaign against Muslims and Catholics, run by a popular Buddhist Clergy group, the Bodu Bala Sena.
