Colombo, March 24 (Daily Mirror) - In the wake of his controversial statement on the Easter Sunday bomb attacks, former President Maithripala Sirisena said he made that statement based on information he had received only three weeks ago.

Sirisena addressed the media stating, "I made that statement on Firday based on information I had received only three weeks ago regarding the Easter attacks. I am prepared to testify confidentially if ordered by a court."

Expressing concerns for his safety and that of his family, Sirisena emphasized his willingness to provide a confidential statement, stressing its sincerity beyond political implications.

The former President's remarks come amidst ongoing scrutiny and public debate, reigniting discussions on accountability and transparency in the aftermath of the tragic bombings.

In light of the development, the CID has summoned the former President to provide a statement.

You need to testify publicly not confidently because all of us have to know what you have to say.

If Sirisena prepared himself to provide the truth, there is no need of secrecy to be maintained as the people themselves are the victims therefore, they have every right to know the fact to determine the life of Sri Lanka's social, political, economical factors. So, come out SIR with the fact revealing publicly.

Probably Maithripala knew for three weeks before the bombing and did nothing too Sunday, 24 March 2024 06:39 PM

Already Supreme Court has asked Maithripala to pay compensation. Now the ex-President talks even bigger. Surely he is a crooked fellow to have known for three weeks and said nothing. What other wicked things is he doing.

It is very difficult to anticipate any progress as you are making the complain against the very same people who are supposed to be the conspirators.

He is going to release his statement on 1st of April to fool the Sri Lankans. After taking over PM, he bought a few luxury houses in Colombo district.

Why this man is still getting Pin Padi and Pin Bath without eating Hira Bath? A challenge to the SL legal system after killing many innocent people!
