The delegation met Principal Lakdas De Mel College, Kurunegala and gifted copy of Holy Qur’an Sinhala Translation. He warmly welcomed the delegation and said he is the only school Principal in the Kurunegala Town, allowing Muslim girls student to wear scarf with pant within the school premises, whereas such dress code are not allowed in other schools in this big town.
He went on to say that due to his permission for the Muslim girls to wear their traditional dress code he was compelled to request more allotment for the school uniform clothes from the Educational Department. Unknowingly this fact, the Educational Department made an inquiry for such an additional allotment of clothes for this particular school, the Principal told the authorities about the freedom of practicing religion he had given in, in his school for the Muslim girls.
This wonderful example by the Principal of this particular school drew the attention of Muslims in the area and appreciated the Principal very much in such an extent Muslim leaders visited the school and kissed the hand of this Buddhist Principal.Usually, Muslim girl students are not allowed to use scarf in the school premises and they are compelled to wear the pant up to the knee similar to the frock of the fellow students.
The delegation met Deputy Commissioner of City Municipal Council, who welcomed the delegation saying that he had the opportunity to see the Jama’at delegation donating Holy Qur’an Sinhala Translation to Cardinal Dr. Malcolm Ranjith in the news bulletin aired by DERANA TV recently. He respectfully accepted the copy of Holy Qur’an Sinhala Translation on behlf of the City Mayor.
