President Maithripala Sirisena pointed out the need for a common program to properly operate laws to prevent religious conflicts in the country and to explain the facts to those parties that create disharmony.

He said all religious leaders should come onto a single stage for this purpose. He emphasised that there should not be any room for national and religious conflicts which spread disunity in the country.

The President made these remarks at a meeting with the Inter Religious Council held last week at the Presidential Secretariat.

He also pointed out the importance of actively operating the committees consisting of politicians and religious leaders appointed under his directive. He said these committees should focus on religious conflicts at the district levels.

The President stated that the Inter-Religious Council should meet at least once a month. He said that the recommendations of this meeting will be presented at the next Cabinet meeting.

“Everybody has the responsibility to act impartially when national and religious conflicts arise. The expectation of everybody should be a peaceful country where people of all races and religions can live happily,” the President said.

Religious leaders of all religions, Ministers and Government officers joined this meeting.
