Anti-Muslim riots have tarnished the name of Sinhalese Buddhists says Sri Lanka's opposition leader

The image of Sinhalese Buddhists has been tarnished by recent anti-Muslim riots said the leader of the opposition UNP party in parliament last week, reports DailyMirror.lk.

Commenting on the negative impacts of anti-Muslim riots in Sri Lanka, Ranil Wickramasinghe said,

“The good name of Sinhalese Buddhists has been destroyed by such actions of a few. That is why I call this a fire lit, not only against the Muslims but against themselves (Sinhalese Buddhists).”
