On the morning of Sunday 7 July, the sacred Mahabodhi Temple in Bodhgaya in Bihar suffered a series of low intensity blasts. Immediately following the explosions, President Mahinda Rajapaksa issued a statement condemning the attacks. He spoke soon therafter to the Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, and expressed Sri Lanka’s solidarity with the peace loving people of Bihar and India, and offered any assistance that may be required. 

The people of Sri Lanka share a special bond with the people of Bihar, a state which welcomes over 150,000 Sri Lankan pilgrims every year who visit India to venerate sacred sites that are associated with the life of Gautama Buddha.

It is with deep sadness that I condemn the explosions within the hallowed precincts of the most venerated and sacred Mahabodhi shrine in Bodhgaya in the state of Bihar in India. Undoubtedly, it is one of the holiest shrines, highly respected and venerated not only by Buddhists throughout the world, but by all peace loving human beings. 

Sri Lanka has undergone similar tragedies when the most venerated and sacred Temple of the Tooth and Sri Maha Bodhi were mercilessly attacked by terrorists, some years ago. 

The people and the Government of Sri Lanka will extend their fullest support to the people and the Government of India in this hour of great tragedy.
