Speaking to the BBC yesterday, SLMC General Secretary M.T. Hasan Ali has said that post mortem reports of victims shot dead, cite the reason for death as being stabbed by a knife. Ali has added that he had no faith in police investigations.
Ali said that upon visiting the Balapitiya hospital, he saw that all persons admitted had faced gunshots.
The SLMC urges President Mahinda Rajapaksa to appoint a presidential commission to probe into the clash.
The SLMC General Secretary says that the commission should comprise of members belonging to Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslim masses.
Meanwhile, the Bar Association is to take measures on the above statement of the SLMC made over the post mortem reports.
President of the Bar Association Upul Jayasuriya has hinted that a request to courts to exhume the victims' remains could be such a step.
