Education Minister Akila Viraj Kariyawasam said that it is sad that Gotabhaya Rajapaksa announced his candidacy for the Presidential Election when the country is still in mourning and trying to recover from the Easter Sunday attacks.
“It’s a shame how some politicians took this opportunity to fulfil their political needs. Even before we got over the shock of the attacks, Gotabhaya announced that he is running for President.
The seventh-day almsgivings for the dead hadn’t even been held. How sad this is.”
Our intelligence agencies haven’t weakened. Even though the former Defence Secretary’s intelligence officer was the head of security at Shangri-La Hotel, he couldn’t save the hotel from the blast”.
“The recent attacks are questioned because of the upcoming Presidential and General Elections. Some are trying to use the attacks for political benefit and gain popularity.”
