He also stated that it was pointless to ask SLPP members who the culprits are when, according to him, the real culprits are within the government

While alleging that Shani Abeysekera, and Ravi Seneviratne who are holding key positions in the government to avoid prosecution regarding the Easter Sunday attacks, SLPP MP Namal Rajapaksa called on the President to question them.

“Individuals like former CID Director Shani Abeysekera, and former Senior DIG in charge of the CID Ravi Seneviratne, who held key positions when the Easter Sunday attacks took place, are well aware of what happened and how. The government should question them first,” he said at a public meeting.

“In addition, it’s a known fact that two sons of a National List MP from the NPP were involved in one of the attacks. The government should ask him how things really happened rather than politicizing the whole issue,” he added.
