I have taken it as my responsibility to fight on behalf of the Catholics of SL: Harin

06 Nov 2021

While claiming that the Catholics of Sri Lanka have been discriminated and silenced, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Harin Fernando says he has taken on the responsibility to stand up and fight for the rights of the Catholics. He made this statement while speaking exclusively to The Morning today (06). "The Catholics have always been victims of unfair treatment. They have always been silenced. Who will stand up for the Catholics if I don't? So, I have decided to stand up and fight for the injustices that are happening to the Catholic people in Sri Lanka. I will stand by Fr Cyril is who falsely accused for quoting what was already discussed in Parliament, and now the lands of the churches are being snatched away. I will fight to my last breath for this unfairness," said Fernando. He went on to state that he will support the hunger strike and protest that is currently happening in Kandana and encourages people to not give up the fight for the oppression faced. "We have already made plans. Next week we can see crowds of people that will be protesting. The big people up there will not hear us until we shout loud enough. So, we will do exactly that, and then everyone will know the injustices faced by the Catholics in Sri Lanka," Fernando finally said. A Catholic group in Kandana have been on a hunger strike since yesterday opposing the government acquisition of land which belongs to Catholic churches along the west coast of Sri Lanka. Several Catholic priests have been seen arriving at the protest location to bless and pray over the protestors. The gazette notification for the acquisition of land was issued on the 7th of October.
