The Hon. Ananda Wijepala
Ananda Wijepala raised a point of order stating that cases relating to the attack have been filed and are being heard in the Batticaloa High Court. He argued that earlier governments had misdirected investigations, and that if the Vavunativu Police post killings had been correctly identified at the time, the Easter Sunday attacks could have been prevented.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Madam, I rise to a point of Order.
¶ 02 Hon. Member, I have already clarified this. Regarding the attack, cases have been filed in the Batticaloa High Court.
¶ 03 Several governments came and went in recent times. Investigations misled in those times are now being properly directed. Had the murder at the Vavunativu Police post been correctly identified then, the Easter Sunday attack would not have happened. We have correctly identified it and filed cases in the Batticaloa High Court; they are being heard now. Perhaps Hon. Rauff Hakeem is not aware.
¶ 04 Thank you.
