Another stolen Tamil site: Malaiyadi Pillaiyaar Temple in Moothur

 About a year ago, randomly a Buddha statue appeared near Malaiyadi Pillaiyaar Temple in Moothur, Trincomalee.

Then the temple priests protested against this:

"Random placement" now became a full-fledged Buddhist site. This clearly indicated #SriLankan genocidal state is funding this removal of Tamil identity and forcefully implementing Sinhala Buddhist identity. 

As the world was battling COVID-19 and the country going through an economic crisis, the Sinhala Buddhization of the Tamils area never stopped. While citizens dying of poverty, LK state has funds to build these statues?!

This temple had been a place of worship for people in this village and those who travel between Battocoala and Trincomalee. Now it became a Buddhist site.

We continued to see cases of such with police complaints being filed years ago with this random temple vandalization & Tamils waiting for justice to be served. Instead, they get state-funded Buddha statues. Once again, where are the Tamil MPs who represent these people?! How do they wait for years and do NOTHING?!

During the war, LK state demolished MANY temples [list: https://sangam.org/destruction-hindu-temples-sri-lanka/ ] and now they are taking over Tamil hereditary/cultural sites by imposing Buddhist identity. As Tamils recover from genocide, how far will this cultural genocide go?!
