Ven. Galagodaaththe Gnanasara Thera has written to the Secretary of Defense requesting that two security officers be assigned for his protection, citing information that members of organized criminal gangs are allegedly plotting to assassinate him.
In his letter, the Thera stated that intelligence officers had also visited his temple and informed him of the threat.
Gnanasara Thera further noted that, due to his long-standing revelations regarding Islamic extremism connected to global terrorism, many extremist activities in the country had been curbed. However, under the present circumstances, he said his own safety had come under threat as a result.
The Thera added that although he had already requested appropriate security arrangements from the government, he has not yet received any protection.
