Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith while expressing gladness over the Government’s commitment to continue with the investigations into the 2019 Easter Sunday terror attacks, also urged the Government to act against those who knew about the attack beforehand and failed to warn the people. Cardinal Ranjith made these observations during a press conference held yesterday (16). He said that those who had provided funds and logistic support to bombers involved in the Easter Sunday attack should also be brought to book. “We have seen that some have been arrested in connection with the attack. However, we cannot comment on it as investigations are still continuing,” Cardinal Ranjith said. According to Cardinal Ranjith, the first anniversary of the attacks will be commemorated as a low-key affair due to the outbreak of Covid-19 in the country. Cardinal Ranjith has also appealed to all Sri Lankans to observe a two-minute silence at 8.45 a.m. on 21 April in remembrance of those who were killed in the terrorist carnage on Easter Sunday last year. He has requested the public to observe the two-minute silence at their respective homes, without holding any gatherings. “We are happy that the present Government is carrying out investigations on the Easter Sunday attack continuously. However, we urge the Government to bring to book those who knew about the attack beforehand and failed to warn the people,” he further said. Cardinal Ranjith added that those who neglected prior warnings and failed to prevent the terror attacks last year should also be identified and brought to book.
