President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa today said that his government is committed to ensuring justice to all the victims of the Easter Sunday attack and enforcing law against all the responsible parties, by means of due and proper investigations.
“..the tragic experience of the brutal Easter Sunday attack that happened three years ago continues to resonate in our minds. Therefore, I affirm that our government is committed to ensuring justice to all the victims of the Easter Sunday attack and enforcing law against all the responsible parties, by means of due and proper investigations,” the President said in his Easter message.
Easter, signifying the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, is one of the most glorious religious feasts celebrated by Christians in Sri Lanka and across the world.
Easter is a declaration of the transforming power of Christ overcoming darkness and bringing hope. It invites all to reflect on the message of the crucifixion of Christ and His resurrection to eliminate the darkness and despair in this world by means of hope and salvation.
The noble teachings of Jesus Christ remind us to continue to love and care for the whole world, conquering doubts and uncertainties with hope. Even in the moments of darkness and despair, the message of Easter continues to be one of hope and courage. The enlightenment, positivity and spiritual strength of Easter invite all of us to overcome the challenges caused by the darkness of doubt and sin in one’s life and the world.
It is my belief that the spiritual discipline inculcated in us by our religions has been significantly effective in managing the pandemic in the past two years, and finally, our brothers and sisters are able to celebrate this Easter with its usual festive spirit.
I wish a happy and blessed Easter to all the celebrants, in which the spiritual gifts of peace, courage and hope would enrich the lives of all.

This is another investigation like Pandora investigation not even heard of after a. Month.

How can you wish the Christians when you and your government is behind the plot that killed 270 Christians on Easter Sunday. The curse of the dead will wipe out Rajapaksa from this planet.
Ram Wednesday, 13 April 2022 02:32 AM
Well said Mr President. To ensure justice you must be in Prison custody by now and not in Military custody to escape protestors

GREAT 'run with the hare and hunt with the hounds'. How long do you think you are going to fool the people. Do you ever understand the following: 'You can fool some people all the time, All the people sometime, BUT not all the people all the time'.
Ranaweera Wednesday, 13 April 2022 04:08 AM
So that means you will now punish Sira.
Jose Mo Wednesday, 13 April 2022 04:20 AM
Trying to divert attention now with the protests escalating. What the hell were you doing for more than 2 years? Don't try to divert attention. Your Defence Secretary and you are all equally to blame.
Sunil Wednesday, 13 April 2022 04:41 AM
All plain rhetoric. You were in office for almost three years. As yet, no constructive action has been taken to mete out justice to the victims of the Easter attacks. No action can be expected either.

No religion accepts the destruction and devastation you and your power greed family rascals have caused this country. It's going to impact generations. One thing for sure there is no peace for your souls even after death and people will do justice for the perpetrators hiding behind the shadows. Stop fake dramas and get out.
Premalal Perera Wednesday, 13 April 2022 05:39 AM
Where is the report of your own investigation? Put that out first.
Please leave now Wednesday, 13 April 2022 05:42 AM
Everyday you and your government hold on to the power you do not have you are plunging this country to an abyss.

Memraaz S Wednesday, 13 April 2022 06:06 AM
Totally unnecessary priority here when the country is in dire situation the focus should be finding solutions to that such a tone deaf president. The real justice to Easter Attacks will only come about when Gota and his team resigns and when judiciary can exercise the power to serve justice to anyone even the president. But that won't happen under Gota as he is cleverly amended the constitution protect himself from any lawsuits. He has captured the law and have bribed institutions to work for him. Such a sad state of affairs in the country. This country will never prosper as it's filled with bad omen and evil men

Hubert Congreve Wednesday, 13 April 2022 06:15 AM
Easter Sunday Attacks were planned and done by you Gota along with Basil, the entire world knows about it, now what are you bluffing.
Kangkung Somay Wednesday, 13 April 2022 06:16 AM
Three (03) long years nothing happened and what are you going to do now. Only God will deal not Gota...
Roxson Shockman Wednesday, 13 April 2022 06:18 AM
You are hiding the main culprit Sirisena and protecting him, how can we trust you Mr. President.
Kamal Bolawansa Wednesday, 13 April 2022 06:20 AM
Don't try to cheat and pacify the victims family saying something, we have lost trust on you Sir. You cannot stop the on-going protests by applying butter or jam.
Rev. Fr. Manuel R. Swaminathan Wednesday, 13 April 2022 06:23 AM
Remember Gota, you will never get a single Christian vote hereafter as you played a dirty game to inherit power creating the Easter Sunday Attacks.
Bannis Mama Wednesday, 13 April 2022 06:25 AM
Gota is trying to stop the protests throwing "Seeni Bola" - how could the accused become plaintiff? Funny !!!
Prof. M.P. Bandaranayake Wednesday, 13 April 2022 06:28 AM
Hon. President now all the communities, all the religions and all the races are united in SriLanka and Globally to throw you away from power, your tricks or games will never work.

The Cardinal got a right to speak on behalf of his community. He had sent some letter with queries to Gota, some time ago. But, Gota had not given, direct answers but some diversion had occurred. The Gota shall publish that Cardinal's letter with the direct answers to all, if he is not the manipulator of that destruction. That's it.
Sara Wednesday, 13 April 2022 06:57 AM
Mr Nadasena, Keep this statement saved with you because you have to say some thing different just before Easter next year, of course if you are lucky to issue a statement next year.
Ravi Wednesday, 13 April 2022 07:17 AM
were you sleeping all this time ? Hate to see your face.
Chris Wednesday, 13 April 2022 07:22 AM
It has taken 3 years, hundreds of suspects in remand whilst masterminds and those negligent still not even arrested. Yesterday was Sri Lanka's greatest day of shame since Independence. It came under your watch. So much for the vistas of prosperity!
Nimesh Pathirana Wednesday, 13 April 2022 07:27 AM
What ? Find justice. It's you who should be jailed along with your cabals and justice will be served. It is a common knowledge now that you planned Easter Attack to gain power and incriminated the entire Muslim community into this. You will die once here but justice in the hereafter will be severe for you and your family. The entire country will rejoice when your family will be brought to justice. Please resign immediately and get back to US you.

Gayantha Hemachandra Wednesday, 13 April 2022 07:51 AM
Gotabaya, during the past two and half years you could have ample time and resources to do justice to the victims and their families of the Easter Attack. During the time, all the law enforcement and investigative authorities including the Attorney General’s department under you but you have done nothing meaningful. Do you still think that your words are carrying a weight in the eyes of the Easter Sunday Attack Victims and the general public ? Curses of the Easter Sunday Attack Victims will hunt you forever and one fine day, a superior court above this human realm will pass a judgment over you .... and there will be nothing left for you then but to obey the judgment!!

Ha ha if you are an honourable man, put all those criminals you got released, back in jail, and you should be behind bars too in the first place for all the crimes you committed in the name of the war!!! You have lost your mind now, completely!!!
Mithula Wednesday, 13 April 2022 08:32 AM
Only justice you can do is resign immediately! You are also part of the conspiracy.

Hey Gota, what's the plan for this easter ?
sam Wednesday, 13 April 2022 08:46 AM
Justice can be meted out only after you get out of office
Dav Wednesday, 13 April 2022 09:06 AM
Mt Gotta, There is no need for any Justice or investigation for the Easter bomming. We, all Sri Lankans wants to say Goodbye to you and wish you all the best for your clan’s future. By the way, pay back the money you robbed from our nation. We asked you to administer our country not to rob or destroy our country. Go away, do not come back. Never ever- your clan.

We were surprised to suddenly see on TV Defence Secretary Kamal Guneratna and some Police Officers and others enacting a Drama and that is given a Shine by a statement by President on the Easter Sunday Attacks !!!.
Nallammah Kulanthaivelu Wednesday, 13 April 2022 09:12 AM
Again Trying To cheat The agitators for justice for Easter Victims. Shame.
R.P.Weerakkody. Wednesday, 13 April 2022 02:34 PM
Nandasena Gotabaya was born a Buddhist and studied at Ananda. Turned Christian to become American resident. Then turned Buddhist again to become Sinhala Bauddha president. Blamed Muslims for the easter attacks but witholding the results of investigations. Nandasena Gotabaya has insulted Buddhism Christianity and Islam in one go. This pathological conman should not be living among free men as a free man. This deranged megalomaniac should not be living in this country any more.
gamarala Wednesday, 13 April 2022 02:36 PM
Mr. President, All the people of this country know who is behind this. Now people are not seeking any justice from you. They only asked you to resign without destroying this country further.

For how long you and your government have been committed with no results and no justice for the dead and injured. Guilty conscious.
Martin Milton Friday, 15 April 2022 06:42 PM
LIES, LIES, and more lies...Who would believe these lies now??? SHAME! SHAME!! SHAME! MM
