The National People’s Power (NPP) yesterday 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 allegation regarding 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 Maulana in the Channel 4 video, it is clear that former Eastern Province Chief Minister Pillayan and Suresh Sallay had direct connections with the Easter attack bombers.  
Photographs with Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Maulana and Pillayan have been found. Maulana himself has revealed the connection with Pillayan. 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.
