Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa said it was absolutely barbaric to see violent attacks on such a holy day and that whoever is behind these attacks must be dealt with immediately.

“My thoughts and prayers are with the families that lost loved ones and all of Sri Lanka. We will not tolerate such violence, such acts of terrorism, of cowardice within our borders once again. We will stand together and rise up against it as one voice. We will stand united as a nation,” he said.

Take an example how New Zealand government and opposition party face the issue.. they act like one team..and they shine like a star in the world map.. for sure our politicians will try to pick votes. Therefore, please do not blame each other. we already lost our people and economy. Please take action as a team... help and protect our country as our mother. We all the Sri Lankan. who talk with political agenda. please shut his mouth and kick him out
