Jaffna Mayor made scapegoat - Opposition Leader

Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa yesterday said the government has given up on the efforts to find the mastermind behind the Easter Sunday attacks that killed more than 270 civilians on April 21, 2019 while branding the Jaffna Mayor as a terrorist.

He said that the arrest of Jaffna mayor is an attempt aiming at diverting the people’s focus on real issues facing the country. He was speaking at a press conference at the Opposition Leader’s office.

He said the government is trying to take the people for a ride by naming a person all of sudden as the mastermind behind the Easter Sunday attacks.
