Mujibur demands removal of Deputy Minister Jayasekara over Easter Sunday attack allegations

Questions impartiality of Easter Sunday attack probe while Aruna Jayasekara remains in office Cites Jayasekara’s recent admission in Parliament of intelligence involvement in bombings Warns Jayasekara's role undermines President Disanayake's efforts to deliver justice Says no official will investigate properly if their superior is implicated in case

- 

THE main opposition party, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Mujibur Rahman yesterday called for the immediate removal of Defence Deputy Minister Major General (Retd.) Aruna Jayasekara, raising serious concern over the credibility of ongoing investigation into the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks.

Addressing the media, he asserted that no probe into the devastating bombings could be deemed impartial as long as Jayasekara remains in office, given his position during the time of the attacks and his subsequent political appointment under the new Government.
