The Report looks at rising tensions between Buddhist and Muslim communities in Sri Lanka. The riots in June by a Buddhist mob resulted in thousands of Muslim and Sinhalese residents being displaced and having their property looted. This left an uneasy and volatile situation in the country. Little has been done to address the situation, and with the President announcing snap elections this January, what can the nation expect? Joining John Rees to discuss this are Azath Salley, former Deputy Mayor of Colombo and Leader of the Muslim Tamil National Alliance, and Lukman Harees, President of the Association of Sri Lankan Muslims in Reading.
