Dec 29, Colombo: The United National Party has directed a letter to religious leaders on the controversial issue regarding Sri Lanka’s strict policy of cremating corpses of Muslim people who died due to coronavirus infection against their religious rituals.
Writing to the religious leaders, the Deputy Leader of the UNP, Ruwan Wijewardene says the crisis over the cremation of people who die of corona infection has now become a national and international issue that goes beyond the issue of human rights and the government has failed to reach a consensus on such sensitive issues.
