Former Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena has apologized to the Catholic masses and the victims of the 2019 Easter Sunday bombing attacks.
Speaking to the media in Colombo, Mr. Sirisena has apologized for such a tragedy taking place during his tenure, adding that he was unaware of the attacks.
“The ruling does not say that I have committed an offense, but that the President is also accountable for the offenses committed by the officials appointed by the President. That is my connection to the case,” he explained.
In addition, Sirisena also said that he would also contest the next Presidential Election as the Presidential candidate of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.
