COLOMBO (News 1st); The 2019 Easter Attacks was linked to a conspiracy to depose Former President Maithripala Sirisena, said SLFP General Secretary & State Minister Dayasiri Jayasekera.

He told reporters that if authorities speak to the person from a foreign intelligence service who took away the motherboard of Zaharan Hashim’s mobile phone, it would be easy to determine the real mastermind of the April 21st Attacks.

Speaking further he said he is prepared to resign from Parliament and contest for the post of Chief Minister of the Western Province at the upcoming Provincial Council elections, if the Sri Lanka Freedom Party will contest as an alliance.
