evidence: The claims circulating on social media that Dr. Harini Amarasuriya stated the Kandy Dalada Perahera would only be allowed without the use of elephants and that it should involve all ethnicities are false. These statements have not been made by Dr. Amarasuriya, and the misinformation appears to be intentionally misleading. Always verify the authenticity of such claims by checking credible sources or directly contacting the individual concerned before spreading information.
