Catholic church assured of impartial probe of Easter attack

By Norman Palihawadane

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has assured the Catholic Church that an impartial investigation into the Easter Sunday attacks will be conducted, according to Rev. Fr. Cyril Gamini Fernando, spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Colombo.

Speaking to journalists in Colombo on Friday (27), Fr. Fernando expressed confidence in the administration’s intentions. He further stated that the Catholic Church does not believe the National People’s Power (NPP) was involved in the Easter Sunday conspiracy.

“We do not think they had any part in the plot, unlike other parties. Therefore, we trust that the current government will allow an unbiased inquiry. However, we would like to remind the President that the Catholic Church will continue to seek the truth,” he emphasised.
