He went on to note PM Modi must be regretting that indian intelligence warnings about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/?s=Easter+Sunday\"><strong>the Easter Sunday<\/strong><\/a> attacks did not reach PM Wickremesinghe before April 21, 2019.<\/p>\n<p>However, intelligence officers who testified before the Parliamentary Select Committee probing Easter attacks noted, they are not aware of which country shared the intelligence information about the impending attacks, to this day and that they too heard of it, only via media.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister, who is also quite an active tweep &#8211; at times even being heavily critical of the policies imposed by his own government &#8211; fell victim to his own words when fellow tweeps began poking fun at him, dubbing him a \u2018body language expert\u2019 for his tweet last evening.<\/p>\n<p>Below is his tweet:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Harsha-de-Silva.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-202507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Harsha-de-Silva.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Harsha-de-Silva.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Harsha-de-Silva-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Harsha-de-Silva-768x540.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":202507,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1,2375],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-202506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-news","category-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
