Colombo, June 13 (Daily Mirror) - The present government has seemingly forgotten its pledge to establish a special prosecution office to bring those responsible for the Easter Sunday bomb attacks to justice, Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith said.

“The government promised to deliver justice to the Easter Sunday bomb attack victims in its manifesto,” he said during a service at St. Anthony's Shrine in Kochchikade.

The government will never do anything about it. They will just do there minimal to look like something is happening with regard to the investigation.

It's not an 'old case'; and at any rate we're talking about mass murder. It can still be investigated properly. Now is the time to begin.

Mastermind is not a Sri Lankan I guess. He is a big man overseas. No government will be allowed to expose the mastermind.

Unless Udaya Gammanpila had raised his voice, this bogus government, along with the Cardinal, could have brought some innocent party before justice. The people of this country are vigilant and will not be deceived again and again by the malicious plots employed against the Rajapaksas through your joint venture with the AKD government.

I am sure the NPP Government is doing everything possible in this case. It is a long time since the hapenning. So it will take a bit of time to properly investigate and bring proper justice to everyone. It has to be done in a methodical way so that people responcible can be procecuted correctly so that there are no loopholes. Your Eminence, please , please be patient. Justice will be done.

Npp is a party famous for mega lies. They are raising electricity rates and not removing tax on fuel either which is totally opposite of what they preeched before election. They blame previous governments as theives and that is why cost of living going up but these jokers seems to be mega theives as nothing is done as promised. It is time to kick out the liers.

Pina and Pambaya did nothing? Myna - Gon GoRa then Pina did nothing other than saving their friends! First we must get both Pina and Pambaya for justice not doing their resposibilities - punish them - ask them to pay 200 million rupees by each to pay compnesation - at least 10 years in prioson - then the Myna group!

The NPP Gov will lose the next elections if they do not deliver on this fast. They will lose public confidence faster if they do not deliver on this promise.

At a recent press conference with a catholic priest about the selection of the likely new pope by the vatican conclave he replied God prevails on it. Then does God prevail on everything that society is facing today? Today human lives are not only slaughtered without compassion with military might and even subject to starvation akin to the era of the Spanish Inquisition too morbid to relate with the destruction of the church dominance and its representatives living in cosy comfort today and attempting to bring about that dominance under freedom of expression at the wrong place for the benefit of the gullible and meekly accepts like ESTABAN
