Dalada Maligawa Diyawadana Nilame says cleared of charges
(Srilankamirror) - Diyawadana Nilame of Sri Dalada Maligawa Pradeep Nilanga Dela Bandara says the commissioner of Buddhist affairs has cleared him of the charges levelled by an organization called the ‘National Movement for the Protection of Sri Dalada.’
Speaking to ‘Srilankamirror’, Mr. Dela Bandara said he was the target of a mudslinging campaign aimed at tarnishing his image.
He alleged that Sudantha Senanayake and Neranjan Wijeratne, who had been defeated at the last election for the position of Diyawadana Nilame, were behind this campaign.
The Diyawadana Nilame responded to allegations that he had used his position to get himself a VIP passport and for several others as well, to use them in a gem business.
