Sinhala Ultra Nationalist All Monks party, the Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU), which is opposed to power-sharing and Norwegian facilitation, Wednesday replaced their National List parliamentarian monk Ven. Omalpe Sobhita Thero with a prominent militant leader of the National Movement Against Terrorism (NMAT), Patali Champika Ranawaka, paving way for him to assume a cabinet post this week, when the party with 9 parliamentary seats, is expected to join Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse's UPFA alliance.

Ranawaka, a former militant JVPer from 1980's, who agitated against the Indo-Lanka accord, had split from the JVP contradicting with the militant Marxist founder of the JVP, Rohana Wijeweera, over not giving priority to Sinhala nationalism.

He later became a key founder of National Movement Against Terrorism (NMAT) in 1998 and Sinhala Urumaya (SU) in 2000, and was known for anti-semitic statements, comparing Tamils with Jews with a "Aryan Sinhala" supremacist philosophy.

In 2004, he was "removed" from the General Secretary post, following a controversy between the laymen and monks in the party.

JHU Parliamentarian Monk, Ven. Omalpe Sobitha Thera

However, the ultra nationalist agenda, opposed to P-TOMS, CFA and the merged NorthEast, kept him active in the party.

Omalpe Sobitha Thero, who carried out a fast-unto-death campaign in 2005 for 17-days against the Post-Tsunami Joint Mechanism between the Government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, has stepped out from his Parliamentarian post to pave the way for the articulate nationalist leader Ranawaka.
