Head of the Colombo Archdiocese's Social Relations Unit Rev. Fr. Jude Chrishantha requested the CID to question former President Maithripala Sirisena and arrest him if necessary as it is clear that the latter is responsible for the Easter Sunday attacks.
Fr. Chrishantha told journalists that he made this request from the CID when he was testified over a statement which he had made recently. He was summoned after he remarked that the former President should be probed.
The Catholic priest made this remark following a remark made by Minister Prasanna Ratnatunga who had earlier said former President Sirisena is responsible for the Easter Sunday mayhem.
"I told the CID that Minister Ratnatunga should be summoned to CID and obtain a statement from him as well on the allegation that he had made against the former President and then conduct a probe on Mr. Sirisena and arrest him," Fr. Chrishantha said. (Yohan Perera)

Sirisena looking at going on his own, and now this call to arrest him for the Easter Massacre. Anything smelly in here

NOT ONLY CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHOLE SRILANKA NEEDED THIS.

Now there is logic. Ranil too needs to be arrested and questioned as he too as Prime Minister did nothing.

I do agree: dereliction of duty and incompetence in managing the security services, if anything mismanagement. Ex PM should also be bundled in, because he was one of the root causes leading to Ex Pres' mismanagement.

Good request but questioning or arrest may not happen. Theory "I scratch your back, You scratch my back" He applied the theory during his time and protected the present Bosses

The old Grama Sevaka was not aware of the meaning of President, absolutely, he is still not aware that he was Commander in Chief for Sri Lanka.

If he is arrested he will wash the dirty linen of SLPP politicians in the public so it will not happen because of that he has been given refuge in the Government

No arrests among political friends

Requests like this are made by all and sundry purely because the Rule of Law is absent in this country.

My goodness, we will hand over the country to catholic clergy to run it.

Be a bit realistic brother. Ask for something that you could possibly get. Don't ask for something silly.
Gayan Thursday, 17 February 2022 06:28 PM
Aren't these the same people who voted for sirisena in 2015?
Dilshan Perera Thursday, 17 February 2022 08:04 PM
Time to implement and carry out death penalty!

With this logic they must arrest all leaders in power when LTTE bombs went off. Catholic Church was silent at that time. Do not know why?
