SJB asks AG to ensure that Easter Sunday carnage masterminds are punished

Senior members of the SJB including its MPs and lawyers visited the Attorney General’s Department Monday (30) morning, demanding that the masterminds behind the Easter Sunday Attacks of 2019 be punished.

The party’s lawyers requested the AG’s Department that suitable action be taken in accordance with the criminal law against those involved including politicians.

SJB Puttalam District MP Hector Appuhamy said: “It is a big issue to us as to who hid the mastermind behind the Easter Attacks. It is clear that this person is in hiding. He should be sought out from wherever he is hiding and punished by the court along with his associates.”

SJB Gampaha District MP Dr. Kavinda Jayawardana said that if those in power were unable to serve justice to all those who lost their lives in the attacks even after several years have passed since, they had no moral right to be in power.
