Trincomalee Buddha Statue a Fully Orchestrated Racist Act: Accusation by Thero Sattarathana
22-Nov-2025.
Thera Rajanganana Sattarathana accused that the installation of the Buddha statue in Trincomalee was a fully planned racist operation.
He claimed that Peliyagoda Kassapa Thera has close links to the matter, calling him a complete racist.
According to Thera Sattarathana, Kassapa Thera is someone who will do anything for money.
Wherever Kassapa Thera intervenes, disturbances arise. Accordingly, a protest march against the government is planned for the 21st.
He claimed that this march is part of a movement led by Namal Rajapaksa to topple the current government.
Many monks have been visiting Trincomalee—Gnanasara Thera also went. When that happens, everyone knows something is wrong.
We also oppose wrongdoing. These fraudsters will do anything to overthrow the government.
I will fearlessly say that racism and religious hatred are being incited. I urge the public not to fall for these deceitful acts.
Drug traffickers, fraudsters, and thieves are attempting to topple this government, said Thera Sattarathana.
It is notable that he was previously arrested and remanded for making statements that threatened religious harmony.
