Govt.'s Easter 'rabbit out of a hat' leg-pull

'WE will serve justice to the people who have languished in agony without hope for so long."

- Wijith DeChickera

'The political mastermind behind the religious fundamentalists who caused the Easter Sunday carnage of 21 April 2019 will be publicly named and suitably punished." 'Full disclosure of the conspiracy with a political motive will be made on 21 April 2025 and closure brought to the suffering of a pilgrim people." Go on pull the other one also, would you? It has bells on! So how exactly does a promising government come back from a grand non-event such as the great Easter Sunday revelation that wasn't? If the need for a public apology or explanation at least doesn't spontaneously arise, this too is a non sequitur.

And if something remotely resembling remorse does stir in any regime's cold, cruel, callous get that drift - conscience, perhaps they would essay an apologetic thesis from among the several suggested below?

Make sorry excuses

Government could pull another rabbit out of its commodious hat. Not the one that springs the perpetrators out into the open but one that foists another fiasco on a fed up Congregation of the Faithful and assorted citizenry still nursing a flame of sacred trust.

That they meant well. That they had every good intention. That their bona fides in the matter of making it all public by 21 April 2025 per the president's own proclamation were utterly sincere.

But the prime suspects didn't cooperate as expected by confessing conveniently! The evidence seemed somehow so flimsy that the blood and the trail ran cold! And the case was not as watertight as once envisaged etc!
