Claiming that the government had failed to implement law against the perpetrators of the Easter Sunday attacks, JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today perpetrators of the attacks would be produced in court and punished as per under a future National People's Power (NPP) government as claimed by the Cardinal.

Speaking at the NPP Puttalam District Convention, he said Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith had said that it was only under a new government that the law would be implemented against the culprits of the Easter Sunday attacks and pointed out that one of the priorities of a future NPP government was to take action against those involved in the Easter Sunday attacks.

He said former IGP Pujith Jayasundara and former defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando, who were produced in court for being unable to prevent the attacks, were aquitted from all charges and asked it should be revealed who the real wrongdoers are? "It was the responsibility of the government to find out real wrongdoers and produce before the law.

However, the government has made some persons as state witnesses whereas their names were webbed in controversy for being negligent," he said. Dissanayake said two factions namely, those who were unable to prevent the attacks and those who masterminded the attacks should be identified and produce in court. "The government has been unable to even identify who masterminded the attacks.

One of the priorities of a future NPP government is to punish the real perpetrators of the Easter Sunday attacks. We need to form a government for that purpose," he said. (Ajith Siriwardana)

    NPP must also take action against those who are doing everything to give a twist to the events and protect the culprits.

    Everything in the future. That's the issue in this country. Unfortunately nothing said happens in the "future" or that "future" always remains the "future" or it never arrives. Good luck saar.

    What about 1989 uprising culprits??? will Anura punish them or praise them for being in this position.

    Hey Anura, well said your party will definitely get the vote of Fr Cardinal. Keep trying as your party has been doing since 1971 well over 50 years.

    Bushel Sunday, 20 February 2022 05:58 PM

    Oh... Oh... once they get power will say not our fault, there is no clause in our system of law procedure to punish this kind of offense. So wait some time until a new law is passed.

    Contractors of pohottuwa are fighting a relentless battle to sling mud at every comment which fevers the JVP

    Acting silly Sunday, 20 February 2022 09:05 PM

    Mandayan Sunday, 20 February 2022 09:15 PM

    Anura aiya, sorry, there is no future for this country!! You politicians will jump from singing shop and run away even if the country is given on a player.

    Will you also punish Vijay Kumarananatunga’s assassins? Very much doubtful. Because you all are birds of the feather. You all make statements for vote bank politics, and make statements knowing well of people’s poor memory

    Jayantha Walallawita Monday, 21 February 2022 03:03 AM

    He and aNPP government can really give an answer to all the burning questions in our country. Good on you Anura keep up the good work then we can get rid of these POHOTTU PARAYAS and get a country under rule of law.

    everyone knows who are the culprit but they need to come to power to sought justice, but why

    Chris Monday, 21 February 2022 06:30 AM

    Now this is like those who promised justice for Lasantha, Thajudeen. Nobody will do anything but karma will pay them back at least in the generations after them. People murder not realising they too will die one day.

    Lion Monday, 21 February 2022 07:24 AM

    This is the only hope for Srilanka to achieve justice.

    Once embraced democracy there was not even a single complain even pelting a stone at some body.They maintained there credibility intact.

    ANURA LOOKS LIKE YOU KNOW THE CULPRITS ALREADY. WHY NOT GIVE THE INFORMATION TO THE CID FOR ACTION

    Aquarius Monday, 21 February 2022 11:37 AM

    Unfortunately, the party you lead now has blood in their hands. People do remember. Why not give a public apology for the crimes committed? As long as you are sweeping this under the carpet, your words are empty and people are not that blind.

    Ranaweera Monday, 21 February 2022 11:43 AM

    Ha ha, are you insane? Si you want to use Easter Sunday also to come into power?

    GHT Monday, 21 February 2022 11:49 PM

    A day dream! who will vote for you ROGUES? this century's biggest joke.
