Chief Organiser of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) for the Jaffna District, Geethanath Cassilingam, has condemned a recent LGBTQ parade in Jaffna near Nallur Kandaswamy kovil. Cassilingam said that the parade was againt Tamil culture and religious values.
Cassilingam has, in a media statement, stressed that while individuals may seek rights, they must also respect the traditions and beliefs of the Tamil community, especially in sacred places.
The SLPPer has said: “What a shocking shame to see a group of people promoting gay rights and forcing their so called beliefs in front of the sacred Nallur Kandaswamy temple in Jaffna, a sacred place for not only people of Jaffna but the whole country and worldwide devotees.”
He said the protest was against Tamil culture and added it was shocking to see them mocking this culture by promoting their beliefs in front of the most sacred place in Jaffna.
Cassilingam alleged that these groups have hidden agendas and are funded by secret groups who want to enforce their western beliefs on our children.
