A Sri Lanka Marxist People's Liberation Front (JVP) parliament member in JVP stronghold in Matara district in the Southern province on Monday has been accused of attempting to steal a precious pair of elephant tusks of a Buddhist temple.

More than 50 Buddhist monks and laymen protested against JVP lawmaker Premasiri Manage of Matara district.

The head monk of the Sri Sudarshanabimbaramaya temple of Kottegoda said that the JVP MP who was a teacher in the temple school before the 1989 led a group of thugs to rob the tusks, which have now been kept in police protection to save it from the MP.
