Public to blame for Corona spread

Reverend Father Cyril Gamini Fernando, the spokesperson for the Catholic  Church has written a hard-hitting sarcastic letter to the president. He said that the public was blamed for the third wave of the coronavirus.

 

The Catholic priest said that it seems the public was at fault for allowing the airports to be open and tourists to arrive from countries where the virus was spreading and for allowing festivities in Nuwara Eliya to be held.

 

He said that, similarly, it seems fingers are being pointed at the Catholics over the Easter Sunday attacks. The open letter to President Gotabaya Rajapakse signals that the tensions between the government and the Catholic Church. 

 

He said in the letter that it was also the public that voted for the Bill on the Port City resulting in the land being given to China. However the people have done one wise thing, that's appointing 225 members to the parliament.
