Udaya Gammanpila, leader of Pivithuru Hela Urumaya and former Member of Parliament, asserted that identifying who motivated former Senior DIG Ravi Seneviratne to remain inactive for 12 days on a critical letter could lead to uncovering the mastermind behind the Easter Sunday attacks. He made these comments during a special news conference in Colombo on the 23rd.
On the 14th, Gammanpila urged the President to release two presidential investigation reports regarding the Easter Sunday terror attack. He warned that if the reports are not disclosed, he would make them public within a week.
During a subsequent news conference on the 21st, he shared details from one of the reports. However, Cabinet Spokesperson Minister Vijitha Herath countered this, stating that the government would not accept the findings of the Alwis Committee report, which includes the discussed facts, during the Cabinet decisions announcement on the 22nd.
