Hindu Council condemns brutal Easter Sunday attacks
View(s):The Hindu Council of Sri Lanka (HCSL) condemned the brutal Easter Sunday attacks, in a statement issued on Monday (22).
The statement issued by HCSL President K. Ganaesgaram and Immediate Past President Ms Shivanandani Duraisami condemned the act while expressing their shock.
The HCSL was founded 35 years ago as an umbrella organization consisting of Temple Trusts, Societies and members.
They said bombs had been mercilessly detonated in several places when our Christian and Catholic brethren were at Easter Prayers, at a day that is sacred to them, when Lord Jesus Christ is said to have risen from the dead to save mankind. “The HCSL, while condemning these beastly acts, conveyed their sincere sympathies to all the Christians and Catholics in Sri Lanka and pray that the Lord gives them strength and courage to bear the loss of life,” he said.
