Chief Monks Disappointed by Lack of Presidential Response to Letters

The chief monks of the Malwatta chapter are expressing deep disappointment over the absence of any response from the President to their written communications. According to the Mahanayake Thero of the Malwatta faction, Sri Siddhartha Sumangala, it is a regrettable situation that letters sent to the President have not elicited any reply. This lack of acknowledgment from the presidential office is seen as a significant concern by the religious leaders. The monks have consistently communicated their views and concerns to the President through formal correspondence. The failure to receive even an acknowledgment suggests a potential disconnect or lack of engagement from the presidential administration with the concerns raised by the highest echelons of the Buddhist clergy. This situation could impact the relationship between religious institutions and the government.

It is a regrettable situation that even when the Mahanayake Theros communicate their opinions to the President in writing, they have not yet received a reply regarding the relevant letter.
