Colombo, October 22 (Daily Mirror) - The government will not accept the report of the Committee headed by retired Judge A.N.J. De Alwis that probed the Easter Sunday bomb attacks in its entirety as it is politically motivated, Minister Vijitha Herath said today.

He told the weekly media briefing to announce Cabinet decisions that the committee only targeted former Senior Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Ravi Seneviratne and former CID Director Shani Abeysekara after they joined the National People’s Power’s (NPP's) Retired Police Forum.

He said the NPP's Retired Police Forum was formed on June 09, 2024 and the said committee was appointed on June 12, 2024, just three days after the Retired Police Forum was formed.

The Minister said the committee was expected to submit its report within three months, on September 15, just before the Presidential Election.

Public is hoodwinked by Gammanpila. It was Rajapaksha brothers who were behind adding Shani and Ravi’s names to misdirect public attention. Chase this back licking parasite from local politics. Do not vote for SLPP if you like your kids to live in a decent country and want to see them to have a fair chance with the education they achieve.

I have noticed that many supporters of defeated candidates are posting critical, misleading, and deceptive comments about two officials in the current government. However, none of the committee reports or court cases regarding the Easter attack have directly accused them. Those who want to derail efforts to find the real perpetrators are conducting these disinformation campaigns.

Well said. This recent committee was appointed by the rajapaksa stooge Unclean Ranil just to cause delays and muddy the waters.

Likewise we don't accept any of your future reports as well. This is becoming a comedy now. Doing probes spending millions of public funds only to get rejected by the next government.
