The Sri Lankan police has imposed a curfew, for the second day running, to prevent religious clashes in the Grandpass area of Colombo, following anti-Muslim violence outside a mosque, sources reported.
Leader of the Buddhist nationalist party, Jathia Hela Urumaya (JHU), Champika Ranawka, confirmed today that the Mosque that faced attacks would be moved to its old location.
The announcement comes after a month long campaign by Buddhist extremist parties to relocate the mosque which was adjacent to a Buddhist temple.
