Sri Lanka's Health Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi says that a “Specialists Committee” is to meet this week to discuss the contentious issue of the cremation of the remains of Muslim victims of Covid 19 when she answered Opposition questions in Parliament today.
Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa brought up the question pointing out that the Ministry of Health had promised a solution to the issue many months ago.
“It is a cardinal sin for the remains of a Muslim to be cremated,” Premadasa pointed out, as it is for Roman Catholics.
