Sir, its clear that former President Sirisena was involved with Zahran and received a Big money bag. This is a well known truth. Why he is not taken into custody still.

Everyone who are behind the Easter Attacks should be brought in front of Justice and be punished. How many precious lives we lost, how many are suffering still... Our Police Department is very intelligent and we trust even Politicians should be punished if they found guilty.

Let's follow UK example of a British woman who was preaching Islamist extremist ideology online, and give her 25 years imprisonment; nothing less!

What would happen in Middle East if the prophet Mohammad or Quoran were disrespected or anti-Islam propaganda spread? - Very strict punishment. Same should be done here; NO BAIL!

The spread of Wahhabism and extremism has no place here in Sri Lanka. It must be stamped out. This can only be achieved with help from our peaceful Muslim citizens.
