The Hon. Ajith Gihan
Ajith Gihan asked the Minister of Public Security and Parliamentary Affairs whether the Government accepts that those responsible for the 2019 Easter attacks have not yet been brought before the law and that the Catholic Church and other religious leaders expect the masterminds and others involved to face justice soon. He sought clarification on whether steps will be taken to ensure accountability, justice and fairness for the victims, and if not, the reasons for inaction.
