Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has told Sky News that the government was aware of Sri Lankans who had joined Islamic State (IS) had returned but they could not be arrested as joining a foreign terrorist organisation is not against the law.

He has also told Sky News that he has not considered resigning after the bombings in the country on Easter Sunday.

    Why resigning?? You will be the last man standing. It's all about you for decades.

    Fool, you better resign, didn't you know the Premadasa strategy?

    Is he mad? if it is not there, it is a responsibility of the law makers to do it. What have you been doing, 3 times Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.

    u can use emergency law to make arrests like that, and rightly so for the safety of the country, pissek

    Joining the terrorist group and returning to the country with the training should be investigated. Responsible Govt should investigate the reason for such training by the individual.

    What more can you expect when our intel officers are assigned to look into insignificant groups such as Awa group? Who is responsible for the blunders?

    This Prime Minister is a leech who wants to go by the book without realizing that the same book will be thrown at him in 2020. Time to go, man, or history will repeat itself like in 2015.

    Look this man does not know even the basic International Law. The ISIS has been proscribed by the whole world. Any person connected to this movement could be arrested at any country. This is not against the International Law. How can we irradiate Terrorism if this man continues to be our Prime Minister

    This fellow is not out PM! Please resign and go! You too have caused enough damage to our beautiful mother land!
