Addressing the Parliament yesterday (24), Mr. Maithripala Sirisena said that the same thing happened to him and Gotabha during the Easter attack and the struggle.
It was stated here that the administration that took place in both these incidents was very irregular and they were freed by putting all those responsibilities on his head.
Regarding the Easter attack, the Ministry of Defense officials did not inform him of a single phone call apart from the exchange of papers, and on July 9, during the struggle, the intelligence agencies at that time told the President that 25,000 citizens were coming to Colombo, but nearly 4 lakhs came and they were watered and tear gassed. He also pointed out that it cannot be stopped.
They should keep in mind that the people were so angry that the last President of the country forgot where they were because of the actions of these rulers in the areas. For the people who suffered in highway queues due to economic problems.
