Former President Maithripala Sirisena, embroiled in controversy over his claims about knowledge of the ‘real perpetrators’ of the Easter Sunday bomb attacks, now asserts that his remarks were based on information he received three weeks ago.
He stated, “I made that statement yesterday based on information I received three weeks ago regarding the Easter attacks. I am prepared to testify confidentially if ordered by a court.” Sirisena emphasized his intention to provide a confidential statement, citing concerns for his safety and that of his family if he were to testify openly in court.
He stressed, “This is not merely a matter of political implications. I am making a very sincere statement.” (NewsWire)
