JVP denounces attempt to demonise pilgrims of Bohra community

(UTV|COLOMBO) – The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) has denounced the attempts to demonise pilgrims of the Dawoodi Bohra community currently in Sri Lanka.

“We were a country of hospitality, generosity, smiling people. But, how some of our religious leaders and people, demonise the pilgrims (Bora) who chose our country to have their sacred festival? Religious and cultural differences are only differences. They should not be used as barriers,” JVP Parliamentarian Bimal Rathnayake tweeted yesterday (03).
