President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has pledged to bring the perpetrators of the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks to justice. Speaking at a public rally in Polonnaruwa, he revealed that the complete Presidential Commission report on the attacks, including previously hidden sections, has been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
The President accused the previous government of attempting to conceal the true culprits behind the attacks and stated that his administration is taking systematic steps to ensure accountability. He also highlighted the government’s decision to promptly repeal the Prevention of Terrorism Act and criticized the previous administration for withholding the full Presidential Commission report from both the public and the CID.
President Dissanayake emphasized his commitment to uncovering the truth behind the attacks, including resolving suspicious incidents such as the placement of a jacket at the scene of the murder of two police officers in Vavunathivu. He declared that he bears the responsibility of exposing those truly responsible for the Easter Sunday tragedy.
