Attacks were allegedly carried out with the knowledge of Gotabhaya Rajapaksa alleged
The cabinet that met yesterday (12) approved the allocation of an additional Rs. 185 million towards the payment of further compensation in lieu of the damages to household equipment etc. during the public disturbances in Beruwala and Aluthgama in 2014.
The government has already granted compensation for the properties damaged in the incidents blamed on Bodu Bala Sena and other groups with accusations that the attacks had been carried out with the knowledge of the then defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
During an Ifthar event in Colombo on June 08, Gotabhaya admitted he and other government authorities could have done more to settle disputes with the Muslim community.
