Top Buddhist leaders from Sri Lanka have hailed India’s decision to proclaim Ladakh as a separate Union Territory by bifurcating the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state, Times of India has reported.
The Mahanayake Theras of the Malwatte and Asgiriya Chapters of the Siyam Nikaya on Thursday (8 August) issued statements hailing the move by India. The two are among the most revered Buddhist orders in Sri Lanka.
The other statement lauded the action by India saying that it will prove to be a boon for Buddhists from all over the world as pilgrimage to Ladakh is set to get easier.
The Sri Lankan Prime Minister had also conveyed a similar message after the decision by the Indian government.
