By The Easter Sunday attacks in Sri Lanka were a horrific tragedy that claimed the lives of 269 people and injured over 500. The attacks were carried out by a local Islamic extremist group, the National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ), and were linked to the Islamic State (ISIS).
In the aftermath of the attacks, there have been calls for an international investigation into the events. Former President Maithripala Sirisena has said that he believes the Sri Lankan government was complicit in the attacks, and he has called for an independent investigation by the United Nations.
MP Namal Rajapaksa has also called for an international investigation, but he has suggested that it should be conducted by recognized foreign agencies that deal with terrorism.
He believes that TV channels and NGOs do not have the expertise or resources to conduct a thorough investigation into a terrorist attack.
There are several reasons why an international investigation into the Easter Sunday attacks is necessary. First, it is important to get to the truth about what happened.
The Sri Lankan government has been accused of covering up its involvement in the attacks, and an international investigation would be more likely to be impartial and credible.
Second, an international investigation would help to ensure that justice is served for the victims of the attacks. The Sri Lankan government has been criticized for its slow and inefficient response to the attacks, and an international investigation would help to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice.
