Sources say Maithripala Sirisena has refused to allow any police, military or intelligence personnel to testify before the committee.
Maithripala Sirisena has repeatedly denied he was aware of an impending threat.
A ministerial source told AFP Sirisena has refused to allow any police, military or intelligence personnel to testify before the committee. Last week, Sirisena’s intelligence chief Sisira Mendis told the committee that the president had failed to hold regular security review meetings to assess the potential threat from Islamic radicals.
Sirisena said last week that he had met with the national police chief and his top brass 13 days before the Easter Sunday attacks but no officer had raised the warnings which had been relayed by India.
