We request members of other provincial councils and Chief Ministers to show their protest on separatist moves by the NPC,” the JHU leader, the Buddhist monk, Omalpe Sobitha was quoted by the Daily Mirror. as saying.
He also urged the Sri Lankan government to "immediately react" to the resolution, adding that "silence might suggest the tacit approval of the resolution."
