I would have never left the country if I was informed on an attack – Maithri

Date:

Former President Maithripala Sirisena has denied allegations that he went abroad for medical treatment despite receiving information that a terrorist attack would take place on Easter Sunday. The former president says he would not have left the country for any reason if the intelligence or security forces had informed him of such an attack.

Speaking at a Sunday service at the Nirmali Church in Polonnaruwa, Maithripala Sirisena said he had not received any information about the Easter attack while receiving treatment at a hospital in Singapore. He also states that he can swear it on the holy cross.

The former president further said that he would have instructed the security forces to enforce the curfew and taken necessary action if he was informed that the security forces were under attack while he was in Singapore.
