SJB blasts govt. for trying to make India scapegoat for its own lapses

By Saman Indrajith

The SJB said in Parliament yesterday that the government MPs were trying to apportion the blame of Easter Sunday terror attacks to India.

Participating in a three-day debate on the Easter Sunday carnage, Chief Opposition Whip SJB Kandy District MP Lakshman Kiriella said that it was India that had provided intelligence warnings of the imminent attacks.

“Those who received these warning reports specifying the date and time of the attacks, the name of the attackers and the places to be attacked kept that information to themselves. Now, the government MPs are trying to pin the blame on India, which cautioned us. This is ridiculous,” Kiriella said.
