Bodu Bala Sena accused the Sri Lankan government of covering up the threat posed by the Islamic State, warning that it was spreading across the island.
The General Secretary of the Bodu Bala Sena Galagodaaththe Gnanasara told a press conference that “as an organisation, we demand the government to release the details of the report to Parliament and to the people.”
“We suspect the government is hiding this report to prevent communal conflicts in the country,” he added, stating that an ISIS attack could take place in Sri Lanka “within a year”.
“We have alerted the government several times and warned the intelligence services,” said the monk, who is currently under investigation for the second time this year over Islamophobic statements he has made.
