Sumana by two  individuals without consulting the Management Committee of the temple  and we had no prior knowledge of this visit until last Thursday. Since  then, the Management Committee has met and spoken to Ven. Sumana  requesting ``not to provide Accommodation to the representatives of this  group and not to organize a bodhi pooja or a meeting with them. It is our position that Sri Ratana Viharaya should not support “Bodu  Bala Sena” which advocates against the rights of minorities in Sri Lanka  and resorts to violence, mob action and intimidation to advance their  cause. The temple premises should not be used as a platform to promote  hatred and/or to promote an extremist group like “Bodu Bala Sena”. Therefore, the Management Committee requests our devotees not to  participate in any of these activities and not to support this extremist  group now or in the future. The Management Committee of the temple</blockquote>
