Bodu Bala Sena General Secretary Galagodaaththe Gnanasara Thera is unlikely to receive Presidential pardon tomorrow, informed government sources said. 

However, the Prisons Department has prepared a list of 545 inmates who will receive pardon tomorrow to mark the 71st Independence Day. 

Many civil society organizations and lawyers have raised objections to the President's alleged move to release Gnanasara Thera on Presidential pardon. 

They reminded that Gnanasara Thera was convicted for contempt of court after threatening a witness in a high-profile case within the court premises. 

However, Gnanasara Thera's exclusion from the "February 04 list' does not rule out the possibility of releasing him on Presidential pardon later, our sources added.
