Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) will fully back the silent protest of the Catholic Church today, its General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara said yesterday.
“Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith had called for a protest today as those responsible for the Easter Sunday attacks. SJB will also support this move by the Cardinal and call all people to support it in the name of humanity,” Mr. Madduma Bandara said in a statement.
“Easter Sunday attack was not directed at Catholics alone but it is a challenge directed at all people of our country,” he said. “The present government had failed to take action against those responsible for the Easter Sunday attacks as per the pledge it had given. The recommendations of the Presidential Commission which probed the attack are yet to be implemented. In addition no action has been taken to probe the conspiracy which the former Attorney General Dappula de Livera talked about with regard to the Easter Sunday mayhem,” he added.
