He is not a monk in the first place. Ask him to produce his credentials first.
He belonged to illegal poachers in Galkiriyagama forest according to forest officers who were senior and old , may have retired now.
He collected millions from people without paying any tax.
So what is he talking ........
Are we fools to listen to them .
I have met him several times for official as well as when I went to see the quartz rock which got publicity due to him. He had also won several awards for protecting environment! (to his credit now he is worried about some illegal poachers and timber merchants)
You may fool some people all the time but all the people for some time not all the people all the time- to him and also to politicians
