Sri Lankan Army threatens Jaffna Saiva Priests
by Freedom on Dec 17, 2007 05:14 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The Sri Lanka Army (SLA) has tortured collecting information about all Brahmin Priests and Hindu Scholars in Jaffna peninsula effective immediately from Monday, 17 December 2007. According to SLA command, all Hindu Priests in the North Province of Sri Lanka have been ordered to report at the nearest SLA camp and provide all details including of their family members.

The priests who have not yet took note of the SLA orders have been threatened by SLA troopers. In number of instances SLA troopers have marched around the residence of the Hindu Priests.

The current action by SLA is due to the fact that large number of Hindu Priests had participated in the Inter Religious Peace Summit held in Jaffna last week and brought to light the human rights violations taking place in the peninsula. The SL Army action is meant to harass the entire Hindu population and threaten so that the people won%u2019t come forward to reveal the SL Army Violations in future, members for the Federation of Hindu conveyed local media.

Our Rulers are shameless and always back-stabbed our Hindu population there and report world a forged different story. This is the REAL News which should be told to our Indian brothers. Instead Govt. controlled agencies on both sides supply World Media with tampered, erroneous news of their desire.

What anti-hindu riots? What happened in 1960 that "apparently" triggered this?

Don't parade your ignorance

Yes that is why there are more Hindus iN Tamil Nadu compared to your own state. They follow the Hindu dharma far better than your own virulent and fanatical form of Hinduism , which is not Hinduism at all. You anti Tamil.
