While refuting claims that the parliamentarians were not informed of an impending attack on the Easter Sunday on April, 21, 2019, SJB MP Kumara Welgama said today he had also been informed of such an attack by his Personal Security Officer (PSO).

He informed Parliament that he had mentioned it in Parliament on April 24 just three days after the attack.

“We all were informed of an impending attack on Easter Sunday in 2019. No one can claim that he was not informed. I have mentioned it in my speech in parliament on April 24 just a few days after the attack. It is there in the Hansard also,” he said. (Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)
