        Let’s be careful not to shift the bulk of blame and responsibility onto the Sri Lanka government, away from the organizers, funders, and perpetrators of these heinous terrorist attacks targeting Christians in their houses of worship.

        Incompetent entire administration should resign,, including president, he can’t get away from the responsibility by merely instructing his officers to resign

        @RosieBarton That won't change what happened or the pain suffered. Somebody knew something, did nothing & now must be held accountable.

        The president as the head should lead by example by resigning.
