People of my generation in my village are ready to support Mihinthale Poson celebration by collecting the money they spend at one time, says Adivasi leader Vishwa Kirti Vanaspathi Uruwariga Vanillas Athho .
The government cannot avoid Mihintale Poson celebration saying that there is a crisis in the country. If this incident goes to the world, it will be a big scandal for us.
The tribal leader Vishwa Kirti Vanaspathi Uruwariga Vannila Vawan said this regarding the increase in the amount of begging for the organization of the Poson Festival as the government officials said that they cannot provide electricity to the Mihintala shrine where the Poson National Festival will be held this year.
Adivasi leader Vannila Pavanan speaking about Mihinthalawa is the place where the pure religion of Lord Buddha was first brought to this country, which has a long history.
Mihintala has been celebrating the Poson Perahara, Poson festival since the known history. As far as I know, it is a history of this country. But this year there is a big crisis there. These days I hear and see that the leader of Mihintala is in a lot of trouble. In fact, the government has a greater responsibility than the leader. There is a Ministry of Buddhism in this country. There is a Ministry of Cultural Affairs. In fact, there is a crisis in the country called Aheniya. The government cannot afford to ignore it.
I saw Nayaka Thero is begging for funds. This is not suitable for us as a nation as a country. The government of this country should look into it. It is the responsibility of the government to find out and protect the precious moments of such precious festivals
“We are ready to hand over the money to the leader tomorrow after collecting some amount with difficulty,” he said
