What is "Sangha Order"?

Present Sri Lankan government president Ranil Wickramasingha is refusing to hold an democratic election.
It seems he and his ministers are planning for a dictatorial government.

Now the group of monks declared that they will take a Sangha Order against him.
“We also urged the Nayaka Theras to issue a “Sanga Order” to the government to hold the indefinitely postponed LG polls at a closer date convenient to the elections commission. And reveal what action people should take against the government, if the government fails to adhere to the order of the Maha Nayake Theras, ” the Thera said.

The Sangha order is used by bhikkhus
(in Buddhist countries) so that the leader
does not harm the Sanggho.

In Indonesia, it is "Ijtima Ulama". The function is
almost the same, the goal is that the people listen
to the aspirations of religious teachers in order to
elect leaders who can protect religion. Because
Indonesia is a Muslim (Islam) country, "Itjima Ulama"
Just for Muslims (Islam).
