The PMD says that this national security committee had continuously convened meetings every 2 weeks over the past couple of days and that on certain occasions the President had convened the meeting every week. The statement also confirmed that the President had called monthly meeting with senior police officers including the IGP on April 08, 2019.

During this discussion which had lasted for over 2 hours, none of the officers present had informed the President that information has been received regarding such a terror plot, the PMD said. Meanwhile it also said that neither the Defence Secretary nor the IGP nor any other official had proceeded to inform the President regarding any information received from a friendly nation about the possibility of the attacks on April 21. Therefore the President denies as “completely untrue” the local and foreign media reports claiming that the President had been notified about the incident in advance.
