SLPP Chairman Prof. G.L. Peiris yesterday (8) ruled out the possibility of proscribing the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) as recommended by the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCoI) that probed the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks.
Addressing the regular weekly SLPP briefing at the Waters Edge, Prof. Peiris, who is also the minister of education, emphasized that the particular recommendation wasn’t acceptable to the government. He described it as a difficult recommendation.
Declaring that the proscription of the BBS wouldn’t do any good, Prof. Peiris said implementation of PCoI recommendations would be the prerogative of the government.
Prof. Peiris assured that the government would implement the remaining recommendations.

Colombo (News 1st); There is no credible and verified information to claim that ‘Sarah’ (real name Pulasthini Rajendran) had fled Sri Lanka to India or is currently even in India, said Joint Cabinet Spokesperson Minister Udaya Gammanpila on Tuesday (09).
Pulasthini Rajendran aka Sarah Jesmine is the wife of Atchchi Muhammadu Hastun, who detonated the suicide bomb at St. Sebastian’s Church at Katuwapitiya, Negombo on the 21st of April 2019.
“If it is verified that Sarah is in India, we will make a request from the Indian Central Government to permit us to question her as well as to extradite her,” he added.
