President Gotabaya Rajapaksa stressed today that the government did not want to hide the report of the Presidential Commission that probed the Easter Sunday attack.

He said he would not enter into any deal with any individual or a faction with regard to the PCoI report and added that he did not want to please anyone either.

He said this during the “Gama Samaga Pilisandara” programme in Kurunegala District today.

The President also said that the Easter Sunday attack was a national issue and that it should not be used as a political theme.

“The concern raised by His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith was reasonable.It is correct for him to talk about it. It is surprising and regrettable that the politicians of the then government who were silent at the time of the attack to hoist black flags now,” he said.

    Previous govt.defence minister and the present Govt.leaders very well know who is Zaharan the Mastermind behind this attack and what was the Connection they had with him.Since all bombers have been identified along with Zaharan now must identify who are the individuals behind this attack.

    Report must show who instigated this attack if it doesn’t show that no point in seen the report.

    Ralaharamy Sunday, 07 March 2021 06:29 AM

    Confusion. Confusion. If Zahran was master mind, why did he die without enjoying the money, he sinfully earned by being a tool? That means there are other master mind(s) who sponsored him with money and threat! Confusion. Confusion.

    Please give the Off hand to the CID to investigate how Mythiripala Sirisena got the big money bag in US$ from the Easter Sunday Terrorists.

    When the President even does not trust the Attorney General and the Parliament as he has not given all the commission's reports, what are we to think other than coverup by the President.

    Jaya Sunday, 07 March 2021 08:50 AM

    Mr. President, release the those 22 pages you have held back. U have no moral right to deny. Dr. (Mrs) Anula Senanayake...... This is a serious allegation. I believe you got the evidence or the proof. If you are said to be this eminent person, believe U would not make a frivolous accusation if U were not certain.
