A committee chaired by a retired Supreme Court judge to inquire into the allegations made by Channel 4

In a determined effort to seek truth and justice following the tragic Easter Sunday bombings of 2019, President Ranil Wickremesinghe has taken a significant step by appointing a committee, led by a retired Supreme Court judge. This committee’s primary mission is to investigate the serious allegations recently brought to light by Channel 4 in a broadcast video.

The allegations have added fuel to the fire, as a former Attorney General has made similar claims, suggesting the existence of a mastermind behind the devastating Easter bomb attack. To address these concerns comprehensively, the government intends to establish a Parliamentary Select Committee specifically to probe these disturbing assertions.

The gravity of the situation has prompted the President to ensure a thorough review of all available information and the two forthcoming reports  along with the existing Parliamentary Select Committee report on the Easter bomb attack and the Presidential Commission report on the same tragic event will be presented to the Parliament.
