The main Opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) on January 3 urged the Government to summon Parliament immediately to discuss the burning problems people were beset with, reports The Island. Addressing the media at the Opposition Leader’s Office in Colombo, Chief Opposition Whip Kandy District SJB MP Lakshman Kiriella said Parliament should be summoned without further delay as the country was facing massive foreign reserve crisis. “The government is trying to sell off national assets. Between 15 and 20 lands in Colombo are up for sale. Seven acres of prime land in Bogambara playground is to be sold. The government is trying to sell the Trincomalee oil tank farm. The agreements are to be signed while Parliament is closed. We need parliament open to debate the country’s problems,” Kiriella said.

Colombo District Court on January 7 rejected a request made by former President Maithripala Sirisena that he be released from several civil lawsuits filed by the victims of Easter Sunday attacks, reports Daily Mirror. The relatives of those who have died during the suicide bomb blasts took place in Colombo and individuals who injured had filed 128 lawsuits before Colombo District Court claiming compensations from former President Maithreepala Sirisena and several others. President's Counsel Faizer Mustapha appearing for the former President made a request to release his client from these cases. He further contended that there is no legal basis to proceed with these lawsuits. President's Counsel Shamil Perera appearing for the aggrieved party raised objections for the request and said the application to release the defendant from the cases is contrary to the provisions of Civil Procedure Code. The victims alleged that the defendants including former President Sirisena have failed to perform their official duties entrusted to prevent the terrorist attacks that took place on April 21, 2019 which caused irreparable damages to them.

The main suspect involved in setting up a hand grenade inside the All-Saints’ Church in Borella of Colombo District was identified on January 12 as a 56-year-old who was associated with the church for nearly 16 years, reports Ada Derana. Following the discovery of the explosive material at around 4.40 p.m. on January 11, four suspects in total were taken into custody over the incident. According to the Police spokesman SSP Nihal Thalduwa, the hand grenade had been placed using sellotape, matchsticks, and incense sticks for it to catch fire and explode. Investigations have uncovered that the suspects had used a 13-year-old boy, who resides close to the church and frequents the premises, to place the hand grenade inside the church. Reportedly, the main suspect had been serving the church and residing at the premises over the past nine months. The investigators have managed to find parts of sellotape, matchsticks and incense sticks, which were used to set up the hand grenade, inside his living quarters. The Police are yet to uncover the reason for the suspect to place an explosive material inside the church, how he managed to obtain it and the individuals who aided and abetted him.

Whilst rejecting the information revealed by the Police on the recovering of a hand grenade at All Saints Church Borella in Colombo District on January 11, Archbishop of Colombo His Eminence Cardinal Malclom Ranjith at a press conference on January 13 called for a transparent probe on the incident, reports Daily Mirror. Cardinal Ranjith said “Police only viewed the CCTV footage in the church for some reason. The Sanchristian (caretaker) of the church was arrested only by viewing the video clips which were recorded after 3:00 pm on that day. I requested the parish priest to view the video clips recorded the whole day. It is revealed by the CCTV footage that a suspicious man enters the church and keeps something on the ground. Then he wears the traditional ‘sign of the cross’ which is a religious tradition practiced by the Catholics when entering the church and worshiping. However, this person does it in the wrong way. It could be concluded that through this man's action, he was not a catholic. Also, this person came in limping and when going back from the church he was walking in a stable manner. In such circumstances, we appeal to the police to conduct a proper investigation. One should not wear the uniforms if he cannot do his job in a proper manner.”

He was taken into custody in the area of Piliyandala by the crime’s investigation unit of the Colombo South Division.
