Colombo: Sri Lanka's influential Buddhist clergy today (Dec 12, 2004) blamed the Government for the bomb explosion at Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan's concert in Colombo, accusing it of not taking adequate security measures for the show.

"We hold the Government responsible for this attack. It is because they did not give adequate security that this happened," Buddhist monk legislator Omalpe Sobitha told reporters in Colombo.

The all-clergy National Heritage Party (NHP) condemned last night's attack on Shahrukh Khan's mega musical show 'Temptation 2004', which killed two people and injured 19 others, and said it underscored the poor security arrangements.
