The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) urged the Government led by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to take immediate action with regard to the 2019 Easter Sunday terror attacks based on the findings and recommendations of various investigations into the bombings.

Noting that various parties have expressed various opinions about the investigations and investigation reports concerning the Easter Sunday attacks, SJB National Organiser Tissa Attanayake told The Daily Morning that what the SJB demands is that the President and the Government take concrete legal action based on the law enforcement authorities’ investigations and investigation committee/commission reports on the Easter Sunday attacks. What we want is concrete legal action aimed at serving justice to the victims of the Easter Sunday attacks. If a Presidential Commission of Inquiry or any other investigation committee has conducted a probe into a certain matter, the Government cannot keep it concealed and the relevant information should be publicised for the people to know,” he stressed, adding that it is difficult at the moment to endorse or reject any specific committee/commission report, but that what is required is action based on them.

He added that even though some SJB members have expressed various opinions regarding the matter, those are their personal opinions, and that the SJB, as a Party, has not officially paid attention to the matter nor has it taken any official decision concerning the investigation reports on the Easter Sunday attacks.
