The recently put up name board ���Sinhala Ravaya Village��� at Naavat-kuzhi in Jaffna. ���Sinhala Ravaya��� is an organisation led by Buddhist monks working in parallel with the ���Buddhist Power Force��� (BBS). Note that the name of the extremist group is not given in English in the name board. The English text only states ���Since 2011��� as a smokescreen to protect the current regime. The full name is rendered in Sinhala and Tamil as ���Sinhala Ravaya Village���. ���Ravaya��� literally means ���Sound��� or ���Voice���. The term is also used to imply news.
