We, the All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama, are grieved by the news of the demise of Professor Venerable Dr. Bellanwila Wimalaratana Nayake Thero, the Chief Incumbent of the Bellanwila Rajamaha Viharaya. We extend our deepest sympathies to all who mourn in the country, irrespective of caste, creed or religion.
