Since Archbishop of Colombo, Cardinal Malclom Ranjith had slammed the government authorities to name the group which supported the Easter Sunday bombers, Minister of Public security Tiran Allas invited him and the Church to go through the investigations and outline any shortcomings.
“We have already informed the Church authorities to go through the investigations into the Easter Sunday attacks. The Church is welcome to show any shortcomings with regard to the investigations which are almost completed. The Church should cooperate with us and should go through the investigations and show us if there are any shortcomings,” he said.
“Let us finish this ongoing confrontation over the Easter Sunday attacks,” he added.
Cardinal Ranjith who was speaking during a service at the Katuwapitiya Church said the present government had failed to reveal the truth on the Easter Sunday attacks.
“The present government has not kept its promise to reveal the truth on the Easter Sunday attacks. Neither the President nor the Attorney General or any Member of Parliament had done their duty. No member of Parliament had called for an impartial investigation into the Easter Sunday attacks,” the Cardinal said.
“We want the government to name the group which had supported the Easter Sunday bombers,” he added. (Yohan Perera)
