Archbishop of Colombo His Eminence Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith is to boycott independence day celebrations tomorrow as a protest against the shortcomings in the investigations carried out on the Borella Church hand grenade case and the Easter Sunday bomb attack, member of Colombo Archdiocese Communication Unit Rev. Fr. Cyril Gamini Fernando told journalists today.
Fr. Fernando said Cardinal Ranjith has decided to cancel the service he usually holds on the Independence Day.
“We are disturbed as to why the caretaker of the church is being continuously detained despite the proof that he has nothing to do with the All Saints' Church grenade issue. CCTV Camera footages have made it clear that this person has nothing to do with the grenade episode,” Fr. Fernando said.
All the other suspects expect for the caretaker of the church were released recently. (Yohan Perera)
