In a compelling address to Parliament yesterday, Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka, a prominent figure in Sri Lankan politics and former Army Commander, urged for an international investigation into the Easter Sunday attacks following startling allegations made in a recent Channel 4 documentary.
The documentary has drawn global attention by linking the head of the State Intelligence Service (SIS), Suresh Sallay, to the planning and execution of the tragic Easter Sunday attacks in 2019. According to the documentary, the attacks were allegedly orchestrated as a means to bring the Rajapaksas to power.
During his address, Field Marshal Fonseka expressed his concerns about the SIS Chief’s alleged involvement in the attacks. He emphasized that Suresh Sallay had a history that raised suspicions, referring to him as a man who was once relegated to “cleaning the toilets” for the Rajapaksa family.
These shocking allegations have ignited fresh debates in Sri Lanka’s political landscape, prompting calls for a thorough and impartial investigation to ascertain the truth behind the claims made in the documentary.
