Want To Conceal The Real Masterminds Behind Easter Bombings: AKD"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Government wants to hide the real mastermind behind the Easter Sunday<\/a><\/span> attacks, JVP Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake<\/a><\/span> said, slamming President Nandasena Gotabaya Rajapaksa<\/a><\/span> for failing to make a report by the Commission of Inquiry into the Easter Sunday bombings in 2019 public.<\/p>\n

There were two things that the people need to know about the Easter bombings, Dissanayake told a National People\u2019s Power meeting. The first was who was responsible for not preventing the terror attack when it had warning of it. \u201cThe second question is who was the real leader of the suicide bombers \u2013 who did they answer to?\u201d he demanded.<\/p>\n

The JVP leader said President Nandasena and his government wanted to conceal the real masterminds behind the Easter Sunday Attacks. The easiest way to figure that out was the old village way, Dissanayake explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the village, if the cops want to catch the person who has set up a gun wire trap to hunt in the jungle, they can\u2019t do that by studying what the trap looks like. They must look for the person who carries the hunted prey on his shoulders,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Easter attacks were a hunt, let\u2019s try to figure out who carried the prey on his shoulders for the past one and half years after the bombings. Who used the bombings for an entire election campaign and used them to turn politics upside down in the country? Who carried the Easter attacks on his shoulders?\u201d he demanded.<\/p>\n

Dissanayake insisted that the people had a right to know what was in the Easter Sunday Commission report. Those who had been appointed to study the commission report, including Johnston Fernando<\/a><\/span> and\u00a0Rohitha Abeygunawardhana<\/a><\/span>\u00a0were only good to make sure pieces of the report disappeared, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one thing if this report was about the Rajapaksa family property or something. If that were the case, the people don\u2019t need to know about it and the brothers and uncles can sort it out between themselves. But this report on the Easter Sunday bombings concerns public security \u2013 the people have a sacred right to know what its contents are,\u201d Dissanayake charged.
