"As far as I know such a Sangha order has not been issued to anyone in the recent past. There is no possibility for such a Sangha order being issued either. Also remember that neither those three or four Buddhist monks nor I am able to issue a Sangha order. "If a Sangha order is to be issued then all responsible chief prelates and Mahanayakes of the Three Nikayas must come together hold discussions and unanimously decide on the issue. "Or else a Sangha order cannot be issued to General Sarath Fonseka regarding him coming forward as the common candidate for a Presidential election,” said the Venerable Malabe Seelarathana Thero.</blockquote>
