Colombo: A minister said on Wednesday that the Sri Lankan government is unaware of any move to arrest former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa in the Easter Sunday bombings case.
Nalin Jayathissa, the Minister of Health and Mass Media, said this in response to a statement by opposition politician Udaya Gammanpila who accused the government of plotting to arrest Rajapaksa to meet its motive to blame the state intelligence services for the 2019 Easter Sunday suicide bombings that killed 270 people, including Indians.
Gammanpila, a former minister, said the government planned to arrest Gotabaya and Suresh Sallay, the then chief of state intelligence.
