Defence Secretary Kamal Gunaratne said it is not fair to criticize the police investigation into the incident in which a grenade was found at the Borella All Saints' Church, less than 24 hours after it was reported.

He made this remarks responding to the statement made by Archbishop His Eminence Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith regarding the investigation into the incident.

Speaking to media after meeting with Chief Prelates of Malwatta and Asgiriya chapters, he assured that all those involved in the incident will be brought to justice.

"Investigation is not something that can be completed in two or three hours. It takes some time. I don't think it's fair to criticize investigations barely 24 hours had passed after the incident," he said.
