Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Aruna Jayasekara became a Deputy Minister in 2024, whereas the Easter attacks occurred in 2019. From 2019 to 2022 he was not a Deputy Minister. Investigations could and should have been conducted independently then; they were not. We are conducting them now. Statements have been made in Parliament and to the CID. The discomfort of those who could not act then because we are acting now is not our concern. We will present all facts and ensure justice for the victims.
