Passing away of the Most Ven. Nannapurawe Bubbharakhitha Thero, the chief prelate of the Digawapiya Rajamaha Vihara is an unfulfillable loss for the whole nation, Speaker Karu Jayasuriya said.
Issuing a message of condolence for the demise of the chief prelate he said, the Buddharakhitha Thero worked in hard for about 80 years to establish Sinhala colonies in that area while associating with all other nations.
The chief prelate has done a huge religious service to protect the Digawapiya sacred place even amidst the terrorist activities in past years.
Speaker also conveyed his deepest sympathy and blessed for the noble nirvana.
