Why is the Cardinal trying to be a fool again, didn't he learn a lesson from his underhand dealings with the former President; and in the process humiliate the Catholic community. As a religious figure he should be a political.

In this country you will get nothing if you remain non political as every thing in this country is mixed up with politics. Hope NPP will address this issue as they do not have under hand connection with any political party

Useless. They will secure only 2M in a presidential election and around 40 seats in parliament as they used to secure in 2004 April 1st parliamentry election even if the winds that fan only the incumbent chang its direction.

Only NPP can be trusted for justice to the victims. No other party can be trusted at all. As it's highly likely that NPP will come to power, they should walk the talk and ensure that the real culprits will be found and punished.

We also need a 7 (or more) point statement to look into the atrocities the JVP committed during the 88/89 period.

This saga will also to waste tax payers with commissions, as elsewhere in paper seen below comment, Quote-- The debate which is to begin on April 24 is to cost the public Rs 45 million if one goes by the remark made by Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena who claimed that the three day debate on the no faith motion against him cost Rs.45 million in March this year. Un quote--

All orchestrated and choreographed by the NPP lackeys. Now does that mean that the Cardinal been recruited to play politics like he did during the 2019 elections? It is very unlikely that his flock will be blindly influenced and led by him yet again. He was so very wrong in his political games last time and almost certainly he will be wrong yet again. He as an individual is after cheap political patronage and seems to be misusing his high office for cheap personal gain.

Remember how the NPP predecessor the JVP treated religious leaders and dignitaries in the past? Lest we forget. Now it is very convenient to appear to want to appease them! May be the Cardinal will be fooled by not the people.

Pure politics. What a joke. Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith is taken for a ride by the JVP/NPP. Poor old Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith has forgotten what the JVP/NPP did in the late 80’s. The JVP/NPP killed more people than the number that died in the unfortunate Easter bombing. I presume Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith is also going nuts.

Mere rhetoric to woo voters in an election cannot be taken seriously but the question is :can they walk the talk?

After 5 years, hibernating politicians are waking up for justice for the Easter attacks victims keeping the election in mind.

If the NPP gets into power and does not do anything to punish the real culprits of the Easter Attack, i.e. the Brains behind the Easter Attack, do not start telling us again we were fooled and deceived by the politicians.
