Eran demands to know fate of Easter carnage probes

SJB MP Eran Wickremaratne has demanded to know from Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena the progress of the Presidential Commission appointed to probe into the allegations levelled by Channel 4 regarding the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks.

MP Wickremaratne’s question, listed in the latest Addendum to the Order Book of Parliament, asks the Prime Minister to inform the House of the date when the report of the Presidential Commission will be made available to Parliament and the public.

The MP has also called on the Prime Minister to inform the House of the reasons for the appointment of a Parliamentary Select Committee to investigate into the same allegations levelled by Channel 4 regarding the aforesaid attacks.

In addition, the MP calls on the Prime Minister to inform the House of the progress made by the PSC, if there was no progress, the reasons and of the parameters of the PSC.

Wickremaratne calls on Prime Minister Gunawardena to appraise the House of the reasons the government has repeatedly ignored the calls for an independent international inquiry on the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks.
