Colombo, Sept. 23 (Daily Mirror) - The statement made by the father of Vihanga Tejan, the child who died in the 2019 Easter Sunday explosion at the Shangri-La Hotel, to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), will have an adverse impact on Sri Lanka, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa told Parliament today.

Premadasa said the victim’s father had informed the OHCHR that he was not satisfied with the progress of investigations into the Easter Sunday bombings. He warned that such remarks could negatively affect Sri Lanka on the international stage.

He found an another tropic , boy it never affects the government since the government is hellbent of finding the truth and punish those who are responsible. All the ambassadors of foreign governments certainly, would have been briefed their governments, the action taken by the present government in this regard.

The incident itself has tarnished the image. You've got no right at all to stand at moral high ground as it happened during your government. Empty words!

Why? He has to inform you before doing anything to find justice for his son? He has to inform you how he finds money? Who t... f... do you think you are!

Here he goes again, with his theories. Did he even murmur as a minister in power when the Easter bombings took place. If this attitude was initiated then, this sore would have been healed instead of being pinched at every opportunity for personal gains.

Mr Premadasa, when we as a nation takes over six years and yet in an inconclusive state we will have adverse effects one way or the other. Then alternates are seeked for relief.

But he has the right to reflect his feelings. He lost his son.

This Preme won't ever feel the tragedy, hopelessness or emptiness that affects an individual of losing an own child!

Sadly these selfish politicians are waiting for the country to fail and proving how unpatriotic they are with this type of loose talk. That’s why the people rejected these corrupt and dirty politicians.
