Venerable Murutthettuve Ananda Thero says that the country needs a Buddhist leader who will not be a pawn of politicians, but who will act honestly, transparently and fearlessly.
Accordingly, he emphasizes that the work started to build a Buddhist leader will be carried forward no matter what obstacles come.
Responding to a question raised by the media whether he is with President Ranil Wickremesinghe, he said that he has been working with President Ranil Wickremesinghe since the 80s and that he still cares about him.
