Colombo, Jan 29 (Daily Mirror) - The terror group which carried out the Easter Sunday bomb attacks are associates of the National People’s Power (NPP) and had actually funded the Marxists, MP Nimal Lanza said over the weekend.

“Ibrahim who was a key suspect in the Easter Sunday attacks was in the NPP national list. The father of one of the suicide bombers was also in the NPP national list. This group has funded the NPP with millions of rupees. Catholics in this country should remember this fact when casting their votes,” Lanza said during the inaugural rally of the new alliance that is in the making.

“NPP leaders have not paid a single cent as taxes. They have not provided employment to a single youth, unlike us. This is because they don’t own any enterprises. They are not employed. However, they lead more comfortable lives than any one of us,” he said.

From when did you start using your own product. No need to panic NPP is coming to power.. anyway.

Nodaking Monday, 29 January 2024 04:19 PM

Looks like kudu Lanza is consuming his own product.

Ronald Monday, 29 January 2024 04:19 PM

JVP/NPP has always been a party of destroyers and they will continue doing the same thing which they are really good at

fact finder Tuesday, 30 January 2024 03:02 AM

Tonga what sort of nonsense you are talking of,Just look at the period of 39 years after JVP embrace democracy,there is not even an accusation of pelting a stone at some body.Look at the aftermath of aragalaya all pohottu boys in parliament one after another accused JVP for the destruction but non could be proved. So dont talk nonsense to discredit JVPers.

I heard Santa Claus is a black man in disguise. He is trying to infiltrate the KU KLUX KLAN. He will then come to Sri Lanka, and try to become President of the Kookoo Kluck Klowns.

So called minister Lanza, you think people are fools to take your word, you think we are so foolishly to understand NPP would do a such a nasty thing to catholics in this country, it is you government who carried out, the proof is thier, when the time comes, everyone who are responsible will be in jail, so wait for that day. Just 6 months.

Dakshini perera Monday, 29 January 2024 05:27 PM

Seriously? Are you getting that desperate with lies in oder to win??

Nihal S Monday, 29 January 2024 05:46 PM

Stop talking bull-shit. You were rescued by MR when the drugs were involved. I am not a NPP supporter, but they are far better for the country than you and pohottuwa group.

Most sinful reason for the destruction of a country and a nation. All try to use it in political and religious context to stay or grab power, or show off false spirituality, not amending ways and ignoring divine messages and warnings.

Bushel Monday, 29 January 2024 06:01 PM

Are you and your clan is clean. You think j People are going to listen to you?

Jamal Kudu Monday, 29 January 2024 06:32 PM

There are fundamentalists with NPP in sheep's cloth.

Suvineetha Monday, 29 January 2024 06:34 PM

Well said Lanza. We need other politicians also to understand the truth.

last chance Tuesday, 30 January 2024 03:06 AM

So Suvineetha you have found a good man to understand the truth, I think its better to go to a doctor and ask whether your brain is functioning properly.

Sam Silva Monday, 29 January 2024 07:11 PM

Why did it take so long to reveal this information.

roni Monday, 29 January 2024 07:22 PM

They should also remember that UNP should not be voted in as they are stooges of the SLPP. The UNP are not fit to govern as they could not recover the taxes of Sugar, Palm oil Garlic scams etc. and now the [people are. paying to sustain you 225 and a travelling president. As far as the Catholics who died the Cardinal has proclaimed Sainthood to them. Thats what every Catholic aspires and if you know the religion and practice the faith if you are also a Roman Catholic you should be aware.,

johan Monday, 29 January 2024 07:29 PM

May be he has consumed some ice or pill to go out of mind or insane

He is always like that, public who vote for him expect nothing less Tuesday, 30 January 2024 02:16 PM

You should go to areas where public vote for him. They expect mad talk like he does, so he is well within his mind to say his bullsh1t talk.

Daran pereira Monday, 29 January 2024 07:53 PM

Mr Lansa your brother involved in Easter Sunday bomb explosion! Do you know this ! CID needs to Arron immediately!

Lanza Monday, 29 January 2024 08:17 PM

Pls stop your cock n bull stories, it doesn't work anymore, people are not dumb like u think.

No there will be fools who believe Lanza Tuesday, 30 January 2024 02:15 PM

@Lanza Public is utterly dumb. The public who votes for him took up their religion from ideas of overseas invaders. People like that will keep making mistakes, to detriment of whole nation.

Immediately after fate took care of one scumbag, another has reemerged from the depths of the sludge pit. Another RW engineered master plan.

Jayantha Monday, 29 January 2024 09:10 PM

A kudda is talking nonsense. They were working closely with that gotha. All knows that. You cannot blame that businessman who was in jvp list. Things done by matured sons are beyond parents control and he will not be aware of hidden agendas of sons.

Upulpb Monday, 29 January 2024 09:47 PM

This man is suffering from NPP phobia bigbtime.

Tissa Fernando Monday, 29 January 2024 10:06 PM

I think everyone including Cardinal and political parties and some individuals have benefitted from this except those who died and their immediate family members. People turn even disasters into profitable ventures. This is playing out exactly to be the same.

Roberta Flack Monday, 29 January 2024 10:45 PM

Panic has hit all the political parties recognizing the emergence of the NPP.

SOHAN Tuesday, 30 January 2024 12:33 AM

HE WILL BE IN JAILED UNDER NPP GOVERMENT.

Nadi Karunaratne Tuesday, 30 January 2024 01:39 AM

Lanza is trying to fool the people. He should use his powers to address the thuggery, corruption and drugs menace that is ruining the country. Not fabricate stories without evidence and with no basis in truth.

Dee Tuesday, 30 January 2024 05:42 AM

Sorry for your unsuccessful meeting in Ja Ela. Your furry speaks of your character. You are a lost cause now.

Anura Jayantha Tuesday, 30 January 2024 09:11 AM

Poor Lanza is on the way to Angoda and perhaps joining Nishantha in the next world!

He is bring hate against Muslims another way Tuesday, 30 January 2024 02:17 PM

He is trying to rile up Catholics against Muslims and now NPP. He is trying to cause more race riots.

Ian Bertus Tuesday, 30 January 2024 02:43 PM

What a stupid man. If this is so, why is Ranil Wickremasinghe refusing to appoint an independent investigation? Surely it will be the best way to stop the NPP winning the nest Presidential and Parliamentary elections. But we know why the Government is not appointing an independent inquiry.
