The Easter Sunday attacks have been a great atrocity and they have done a colossal damage to the Nation. I strongly condemn these attacks and my deepest sympathies go out to the grieving families of those lost in the blasts. I also wish a speedy recovery to those who were injured.
I now gather that false news is circulating on social media that Mc Currie, a brand owned by my company Lanka Spice (Pvt) Limited, was directly or indirectly involved in the Easter Sunday attacks. I am categorically stating that these statements are false. This is a fabricated story intended to harm our company by some unknown party with a sinister agenda. Mc Currie is and always has been owned by me, which you can verify from our website (http://bit.ly/2J1Eo5p). The father of two suicide bombers is alleged to be one Mohammad Yusuf Ibrahim who owns Ishana Spices. Both Yusuf Ibrahim and Ishana Spices have no relation whatsoever to Mc Currie.
At this juncture, levelling false allegations at a legitimate Sri Lankan business can only damage our reputation and hurt our business. If you have shared the initial fake news, please share this message to the same parties so that you are not helping the terrorists by spreading fake news and panic and harming the reputation of a proud Sri Lankan business. Mc Currie has been a part of Sri Lanka’s business and export community for over 35 years, employing over 200 staff in both of our factories at Pannipitiya and Nalanda. I would like to thank Mc Currie’s management and factory staff for continuing to provide uninterrupted service to our customers during these troubling times. Our Company has promoted ethnic harmony at all times and will continue to do so.
