Buddhism is Sri Lanka's identity and therefore no one has the right to term Buddhist constructions as an invasion, Hindu Federation - Sri Lanka Chairman N. Arunakanthan said.

In a recent statement, Arunakanthan slammed the TNA, saying that some TNA members incite the Tamil people by making unnecessary statements.

Tamil Buddhists lived in the north and east a thousand years back, he claimed.

Meanwhile, he also points out that the Sinhalese have not opposed the construction of Kovils in the south. Therefore the TNA must stop making these baseless claims, he argued.
