Cardinal Ranjith warns government: Act on Easter attacks or face protests
Colombo Archbishop His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith has expressed hope that justice will be served for the Easter Sunday attacks before the 6th anniversary.
Speaking at a public communication forum held at the Archbishop’s House in Colombo today (15), Cardinal Ranjith warned that failure to ensure justice would compel them to take to the streets in protest.“The leaders who governed this country promised justice for the Easter attacks. However, none of those promises have been fulfilled. We supported bringing this government to power to change that system, but if the system remains unchanged, we will have to reconsider our stance.
We are still urging the government to fulfill the promise made by the President at the Katuwapitiya Church on that day. If we receive a fair and just response from the government before the 6th anniversary, we will appreciate it. Otherwise, we will have no choice but to take to the streets again,” he warned.
