Cardinal to stop meeting all politicians until full PCoI report is made public

By Norman Palihawadane

Archbishop of Colombo, Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith has said that he will boycott meetings with politicians till the government releases the report of the Presidential Commission of Inquiry on the Easter Sunday carnage, according to Bishop’s House sources.

The Cardinal had postponed a meeting with Catholic parliamentarians in both government and opposition ranks until further notice.

The Cardinal has expressed his opposition to the undue delay on the part of the government to release the report.

The government has appointed a six-member cabinet committee to study the report compiled by the Presidential Commission that probed the April 21 attacks.
