An emergency meeting had been called over the bomb explosions reported across the country, Minister Dr. Harsha De Silva said a short while ago.

In a tweet, he said Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was on his way from Bentota.

“Secretary of Defence and I am at Kochchikade Church. We were also at Shangri-La and Kingsbury Hotels. Rescue operations are underway. Many casualties have been reported including foreigners,” he said and requested people to stay calm and indoors.

And you come and hold it.

Quite the contrary. This, I see, is an attempt by the Bodu Bala and the Rajapakse clans to discourage Christians from voting UNP at the next elections.

Sad that politicians are only interested in power and not to protect its citizens and the police are only interested in protecting these politicians.

Just when the wounds of war are healing, though at a slower pace, this carnage happens. Whatever the motive, whomever the persons were involved and whatever his/her political, ethnicity and/or religion is, a swift and authenticated response is the need of the hour. We know that this will have all the twists and turns, blame games and finger pointing by our political rascals. Our intelligence unit and judiciary's integrity is tested. Hence prevail upon the need with utmost sincerity. Prayers to all the victims of this cruelty.
