The Reverend Hagoda Vipassi Thero, director of the Ratmalana Dharma Research Institute, says that although the parents of Reverend Jerome Fernando have apologized a million times for the incident of insulting Buddhism, the matter should be answered by the law itself.
Vipassi Thero also said that if he has insulted Buddhism, his parents go to apologize for him and it is an attempt to win the sympathy of the people of the country.
He said that Buddhism is an open religion and Jerome Fernando’s statement is not a mistake and said that such insults should be punished by law.
