President Ranil Wickremesinghe engaged in a fiery interview with DW, firmly asserting that Sri Lanka would not entertain the notion of an international inquiry into the Easter Sunday attacks, challenging the perceived Western attitude towards the nation.

The interview came in the wake of recent revelations by Channel 4, which have sparked international discussions regarding the need for a comprehensive investigation into the tragic events of the Easter Sunday attacks.

In a candid and assertive exchange, President Wickremesinghe challenged the interviewer's line of questioning, asking, "Does the UK or Germany have such inquiries? You think we are second class? Take this Western attitude out. You are talking nonsense. I have been in this game long before you."

The Easter Sunday attacks, which occurred in April 2019, were a tragic event that left the nation in shock and mourning. The government has faced significant scrutiny and pressure to ensure that justice is served, and those responsible are held accountable.
