Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) leader, former MP Udaya Gammanpila has called for the immediate removal of Ravi Seneviratne from the post as the Public Security Ministry Secretary, as he has been named as a main accused in the Easter Sunday bomb attacks investigations by a Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCoI) report.
Convening a special media conference today (21), Gammanpila said, “A PCoI report which probed the 2019 Easter Sunday bomb attacks has revealed that the State Intelligence Service (SIS) had informed former senior DIG of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) about the imminent attacks on Easter Sunday in 2019.”
“According to page 43 of the report, the SIS Director had informed the CID Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police on April 9, 2019, that the National Thowheed Jamaath terrorists, including Mohammad Saharan, were planning to carry out suicide attacks on several locations, including prominent Catholic churches. Who is this Senior Inspector General of Police? It is the current Secretary to the Ministry of Public Security, Ravi Senaviratne,” he stated.
“I had given the President until 10 a.m. today to release the PCoI report. Since the deadline has passed, I am disclosing one of the reports today and the second one next Monday,” he added.
