Remove Suresh Sallay as SIS Director immediately: NPP
The National People's Power (NPP) today urged the government to immediately remove Director of the State Intelligence Service, Suresh Sallay and conduct an impartial inquiry against him and Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan alias Pillayan over the allegations over the Easter Sunday attacks.
NPP MP Vijitha Herath told a news conference that it was absurd to conduct an inquiry while Suresh Sallay who had allegations against him is still in his position as the Director of the State Intelligence Service (SIS).
"As revealed by Mawlana in the Channel 4 video, it is clear that former Eastern Province Chief Minister Pillayan and Suresh Sallay had direct connections with the Easter Sunday bombers.
"Photographs with Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Mawlana and Pillayan have been found. Mawlana himself has revealed the connection with Pillayan. The true accused of the attacks are still at large as investigations have not been directed in the right direction. These exposures reveal the mastermind and the true objectives of the attacks," he said.
The MP said Suresh Sallay who was accused of his involvement in the attacks, was appointed as the SIS Director by Gotabaya Rajapaksa soon after he took over as the President and added that Sallay's appointment and the Easter attacks may have inter-connections.
He also said investigations against Gotabaya Rajapaksa should be resumed as he is no longer the President and therefore has no immunity now. (Ajith Siriwardana)
