The hardline Bodu Bala Sena organisation forcibly changed a street name in the Muslim dominated Mawanella town in Kandy last Sunday in the presence of law enforcement officials who failed to act, according to eye-witness reports. Following a rally filled with anti-Muslim rhetoric in the town, the BBS and its supporters marched to a road sign that read "Hassan Mawatha" and pasted a sign over it to read "Anagarika Dharmapala Mawatha." The hardline movement said road names in Sri Lanka should reflect the country's Sinhala Buddhist roots. During its rally, the BBS warned that the Muslims had seized control of Mawanella and that the state of affairs would no longer be tolerated.
