Army Commander Lieutenant General Mahesh Senanayake has been summoned again by the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) probing the Easter Sunday attacks.
Senanayake has already appeared and testified before the PSC.
However, he has been asked to appear before the Committee again on Wednesday (31).
Sources in the PSC said the Army Commander has been summoned again since there were some clarifications that were needed following the statements made by the intelligence chief and the investigators of the attacks.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and several other ministers will be summoned before the PSC on 6 August.
Accordingly summons are to be issued to the Prime Minister; State Minister of Defence Ruwan Wijewardene; Minister of Public Administration, Disaster Management, and Rural Economic Affairs Ranjith Madduma Bandara; and Minister of Ports and Shipping, and Southern Development Sagala Rathnayake to appear before the Committee on 6 August.
Sources have also said the PSC would also invite President Maithripala Sirisena to testify.
