Cardinal commends Govt. over Easter Sunday probe

Archbishop of Colombo, Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith, said he is confident and optimistic that the incumbent government will bring justice to the Easter Sunday bomb victims by uncovering the truth.

Responding to questions posed by reporters, the Cardinal stated, “The government briefs us from time to time on the progress of the investigations.”

“The government seems to be carrying out a transparent probe into the carnage. This becomes evident from the conversations they have with us on the progress of the investigations,” he stressed.

“As such, we are optimistic that the perpetrators will be brought to book,” the Cardinal reiterated.

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, soon after taking office, visited St. Sebastian's Church, Katuwapitiya, where he assured a fresh probe into the Easter Sunday bomb attacks.
