Let us unite in the search for truth, setting aside narrow political agendas.
Jesus Christ, revered as the Son of God, is celebrated by Christians across Sri Lanka and around the world on Easter, commemorating His triumph over death and resurrection. This moment holds deep meaning, as it symbolizes Christ’s power to dispel the darkness within human hearts, bringing new hope and transforming lives.
However, on Easter Sunday, April 21, 2019, a series of inhumane suicide attacks targeted several Catholic churches and hotels in our country. These horrific acts continue to cause immense sorrow and anguish among Catholic devotees to this day. In the aftermath, certain political parties exploited the tragedy for their own gain, while the current government has failed to bring the true masterminds behind the attacks to justice. Even after six years, those who lost their lives, their loved ones, or suffered lasting injuries are still waiting for justice.
During election campaigns, many politicians loudly pledged to ensure justice for the victims, but it is clear that none of those who came into power afterward had a genuine will to deliver on those promises. Therefore, instead of spreading rumors and baseless claims, we must all work toward ensuring justice for every individual affected by these attacks.
In conclusion, urge everyone to rise above narrow political interests and reactive tendencies. Let us come together as a nation and move forward with unity and purpose.
