The Hon. Arjuna Sujeewa Senasinghe, Attorney-at-Law
Arjuna Sujeewa Senasinghe challenged the State Minister’s statement that no case existed regarding the Trincomalee temple, citing CA Writ/1099/2025 filed by Rev. Thrikunamalaye Kalyanawansha Thissa Thero of Sri Sambuddha Jayanthi Bodhiraja Temple. He argued that a case is pending and criticized the Minister for being unaware of it, linking that lack of awareness to the dispute at the temple.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Madam Deputy Chair, the Hon. B.B.E. Watagala, State Minister, said there is no case regarding that Trincomalee temple. I draw his attention to CA Writ/1099/2025, Rev. Thrikunamalaye Kalyanawansha Thissa Thero, Chief Incumbent, Sri Sambuddha Jayanthi Bodhiraja Temple, Trincomalee. As the Minister in charge, it is most unfortunate you are unaware of this case. There is in fact a pending case. It is your ignorance that has caused this serious issue at the Trincomalee temple.
