Pahiyangala Ananda Sagara Thero stated that Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe is planning to illegally hand over the elephant Isira at Ridiyagama National Zoo under personal custody, due to political pressure. According to the need of Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe, who could never sit in the chair of the President, there is a plan to take this elephant into private custody and then to be handed over to the Kataragama Dewalaya. The very same man who is thirsty for power, sued temples in 2015 who had elephants but in order to fulfill his dream of President which can never be fulfilled is offering this innocent elephant to the Kataragama Dewalaya. It is because Ranil Wickramasinghe, the criminal can never become the President. As a protest against this action, Pahaiyangala Ananda Thero handed over a letter to Temple Trees. There is nothing more cruel than taking this free-living, innocent, milk drinking baby elephant away from her mother to be tied with chains like prisoner for the rest of her life to fulfill his dream of being President which will never come true. How could the Kataragama God bless a man slaughterer who has the blood of innocent people on his hands? All of us should stand up against the killing of innocent animals, just to fulfill dreams of a murderer. Meanwhile, a lawyer by the name of Aruna Laksira Unawatuna has personally written a letter to President Maithripala Sirisena stating that steps are needed to be taken to prevent elephant Isira of being taken into private custody. However, God will never allow such a sinner to sit in the chair of the President.
