Deputy Minister of Public Security and Parliamentary Affairs Sunil Watagala says the government will launch a fresh inquiry into allegations against former President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Speaking to reporters, Watagala said the government will take necessary steps to investigate accusations related to the Batalanda report, which was referenced in Wickremesinghe’s recent Al Jazeera interview.
He added that investigations will also be conducted into the Central Bank bond scam and the Easter Sunday attacks, both of which occurred during Wickremesinghe’s tenure as prime minister.
Watagala emphasized that the NPP government is committed to transparency and will take action on all accusations, where Wickremesinghe previously received political protection. (NewsWire)
