Final PCoI report on April Attacks was manipulated; Ven. Chandrasiri Thero

Colombo (News 1st); The final report of the Presidential Commission of Inquiry appointed to probe the 2019 April 21st Attacks was subject to last-minute changes, alleged Venerable Hunupitiye Chandrasiri Thero, the Propaganda Secretary of the Ape Jana Bala Party. "This report was clearly manipulated," said the Venerable Thero adding the manipulation was carried out on the needs of a powerful person in government. He said this person is an American agent and does not have Sri Lankan citizenship while acting in the shadows of the President and the Prime Minister. Speaking to reporters, the propaganda secretary of the Frontline Socialists Party Duminda Nagamuwa said the government used the grief of the people who fell victim to the attacks and came to power. He said the report was prepared on the basis of who needs to be kept as a friend and who needs to be kept as an enemy, and therefore the report prepared by the senior counsel was handed over to others for editing purposes.
