Ven. Rajanganaya Saddharathana Thero says he is leaving hospital with 14 stitches to his head after being assaulted near the Ruwanwelisaya in Anuradhapura following a clash involving monks who were staging a protest.
In a social media post, the monk claimed his life remains under threat and appealed to President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to provide security.
He also expressed support for President AKD and warned that he would return to Anuradhapura if further trouble erupted.
The monk thanked medical staff, police, security personnel and members of the public who supported him during his treatment. (Newswire)
