This rebuttal examines whether the Channel 4 documentary establishes its central allegation of high-level state complicity in the Easter Sunday attacks on the basis of independently verifiable evidence, or whether it relies primarily on delayed testimony, anonymous sourcing, and inferential narrative construction.

Seventeen years after the defeat of the LTTE, Mullivaikkal continues to be internationally presented almost exclusively through one narrative: that of civilian suffering caused during the final phase of the war. Yet, why does “civilian suffering” need LTTE insignia and LTTE propaganda. Why are only pro-LTTE supporters present. Why are mothers of rival Tamil militant groups excluded as are the families of those LTTE killed. These are unpalatable questions that never receive answers.

Before the LTTE asks the world to mourn its dead, it forced Tamil parents to mourn their living children. This is an ugly truth that LTTE fronts overseas can never excuse.

Calls for reducing or removing Security Forces camps in Sri Lanka’s Northern Province in particular the Jaffna & Wanni security forces, are being promoted as post-conflict normalization, reconciliation, and civilian land release. These developments must be read as part of Sri Lanka’s broader transition from sovereign security control toward system-based dependency systematically instigated across Sri Lanka but visibly seen in the North and East strategic arc.

We are in agreement on one point: on 21 April 2019 Zaharan and a team of suicide bombers targeted 3 hotels and 3 churches causing 269 fatalities.

The Cardinal has publicly expressed uncertainty as to why churches were targeted in the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks. However, this is not an unresolved mystery in terms of established findings.

Sri Lanka is not being taken over by force. No foreign troops. No invasion. No declaration of surrender. What is happening is far more dangerous. History has shown us that sovereignty was not lost in the battlefield. The 1815 Kandyan Convention is a grim reminder of how power shifted via agreement.

2019 අප්‍රේල් 21 දින සිදුවූ ඛේදනීය පාස්කු ඉරිදා ප්‍රහාරය සම්බන්ධයෙන් වසර 7කට පමණ පසු, 2026 දී හදිසියේම මේජර් ජෙනරාල් සුරේෂ් සලේ "3 වන සැකකරු" ලෙස නම් කිරීම සහ අත්අඩංගුවට ගැනීම සමාජය තුළ දැඩි කතාබහක් නිර්මාණය කර තිබේ.

It is crucial to understand the real nature of India’s regional doctrine the modus operandi changes with each government but the objective remains the same. India’s geopolitical goal has been political hegemony over its neighbors, regional dominance, strategic containment of rivals (China/Pakistan), buffer-state control and to expand its sphere of influence. As a result, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives and Sri Lanka are regularly prone to all types of interferences & interventions by India via geopolitical engineering.
