The recent disclosures by Channel 4 have shed new light on the truth behind the tragic events of the Easter Sunday attacks, Former President Maithripala Sirisena said.

He also called for an international probe into the disclosures made by the British TV channel.

According to Sirisena, the reality of what actually happened during the attacks differs from the initial perception. He expressed feeling harassed for four years in connection to this issue, emphasizing the significance of Channel 4's findings in bringing about a fresh perspective on the matter. (Yohan Perera)

That does not absolve you from your responsibility as President for failing to prevent it having information in advance

When SIRA brings the BAILA beat, the dance floor opens for business. Want to bet no one will show up? It seems like these are the 'SUNSET' days for SLFP.

Sirisena it is Ok and accepted but I have the voice cut you and Basil had prior to the Easter Sunday Attacks after that you went to Singapore to enjoy holidays with your family and did not even to come to SL soon after the attacks. All these hidden facts also will come out with Channel-4 findings.

Mr. Sirisena, yes everything will come to light, but what will happen to the court verdict on you. When are you going to pay and settle the balance sum to the victims' families and affected peoples' families. You cannot escape and slip away Mister.

At least now you know the reason when Rajapakses told you not to invite concerned people to security Council and not to take action when you got the warning of Easter attack. You were clue less of the extent of disaster planned.

We got to know that in the next election you will join Ranil and as promised you will be made our Prime Minister. For that you are struggling to gain a good name, but it has been spoilt badly among the public putha... You play double games also with Ranil and Mahinda.

When Channel 4 drama is staged in SriLankan courts will you come as a first witness and express facts about Mahinda, Gota and Basil?

No relief for you Thursday, 14 September 2023 12:58 PM

Channel 4 confirms the fine imposed on you, even though you claim to be in Singapore at the time of Bomb blast. Channel 4 news will not give any relief for you.

But it happened during his reign,he wanted to show off that, he is a non-racist,so stupidly he went out of the way to achieve it, so many incidents happened during his period, for example,starting with release of girl who vandalized Sigiriya, and urinating on ancient stupa by some eastern university students, deliberate damaging on Mawanella statues, revelation of Wanathavilluwa armory and his unusual interference ,and many more incidents ,MS ‘s special care to some unreliable Muslim leaders offering higher positions, all these are facts led to mayhem, beyond all,this diabolical liar swore, he was not informed in advance

It is quite puzzling! Why did not you call for international probe when you were President?

He knew about it, he was in Singapore wasn't he when it happened,any people got text msg warnings about possible attack, they did nothing to warn the public... they wanted casualties to gain votes

It's not in the nature of Sirisena to jump at things, rather he would come up with a witty quip, laugh at his own jokes and walk away. This most probably was exactly what happened when he received the tip from Indian secret service of the impending attack. Realising his stupidity later, he is pointing his finger at everyone but himself.

Are you trying to get away from the mass murder? Not so fast, MyThree. You were in it too when you went to Singapore. Never did anything to protect the innocent victims. All you cared about was how to protect yourself.

Angry Themis Appuhamy a Farmer from Polanaruwa Thursday, 14 September 2023 03:03 PM

Mythiripala Aiya, you being a GS became a President of SriLanka and made enough wealth for your 10 generations. In your area, there are 23 schools which they don't have proper class rooms, no toilets, no teachers.... did you think anything about this? You went behind for millions behind Mahinda and got caught for the Terrorist Attackers net and again made in billions. The curse from Polonnaruwa people will be there forever for you, your family and your dam brothers.

Channel 4 video done by Ranil and Maitri to absolve themselves of the blame and responsibility. And most people fell for it.

A Grama Sevaka Friday, 15 September 2023 10:57 AM

Truth was that although Rajapaksas may have been behind the Easter Attack in 2019, in spite of warnings over 90 times from the Indian Intelligence Service (RAW) and Pakistani Intelligence Service (ISI), the then-president did not take any action to prevent it, and was on a shopping spree with his family in Singapore during Easter 2009 and did not return immediately after informing him about the attack. President Sirisena was not fit enough to be even a Grama-Sevaka of a remote village.

Sirisena me Friday, 15 September 2023 01:33 PM

As you were aware of the culprits behind the attack you should have told the world about it at the inception. Why did you wait for so long and until Channel 4 documentary was out to start babbling. Now no amount of blah blah is going to acquit you from paying the 100 mil to the victims.
