Attacked: Sri Lankan monument in Addu

[lkdood]

A group of people have destroyed the Sri Lankan monument erected in Maradhoo for the SAARC Summit that wrapped up in Addu last week.

The head of the monument, which represents the Sri Lankan national symbol of lion, was cut off last night and debris still lay on the ground near the monument.

A police officer who was on duty near the monument last evening said it was damaged after 12am as an officer was standing guard near the monument until the time.
"The monument was destroyed after the police officer who was on duty left the area," the officer said.

"Police are not guarding the monuments all day long but are guarding them at times."

Patrols resumed Wednesday after the Pakistan monument in Hithadhoo island was set on fire as it allegedly depicted "worship idols" banned in Maldives. Part of the structure "disappeared" Monday night. The Sri Lankan monument was also doused in crude oil Tuesday night.

Meanwhile, Islamic Ministry yesterday ordered the relevant government authorities to remove the irreligious SAARC monuments, which it said, breach the nation’s law and religion.
