The country is now peaceful and the entire nation is living in unity since the routing of terrorism. Some who are silent on the carnage unleashed by the terrorists in the country are endeavouring to inject life to terrorism.
Some are even initiating action to forget the massive devastation caused by the terrorists to the country. But this devastation unleashed by the terrorists are still remembered.
A war hero who was engaged in the protection of the country in the Thelippalai area lost his life in a terrorist attack on 21st November, 1990. On the same day, another brave soldier was killed by the LTTE terrorists in an attack mooted in the Kankesanthurai area. The LTTE displaying its brutality in the Kadduwan area unleashed another assault on the war heroes. As a result six war heroes sacrificed their lives on behalf of the country.
The terrorists who grabbed the life of a war hero on 21st November 1993 at Veragal, killed two more war heroes on the same day at Paankulam. The LTTE terrorists on 21st November, 1995 unleashed a massive artillery attack in Palaly. Two war heroes who were caught up in the gunfire attack lost their lives. On the same day the terrorists killed three gallant soldiers at Lahugala in Padaviya and displayed their cruelty.
On 21st November 1997, a member of the security forces lost his life due to a gunfire attack by the blood thirsty terrorists at Vavuniya. A brave soldier sacrificed his life on behalf of the country on a day like today in 1998 in Palaly. On the same day one more soldier lost his life due to a terrorist attack in Paranthan. Another brave soldier was killed by these ruthless terrorists in Periyamadu on 21st November 1999. They also took away the life of another soldier on a day like today in the year 2006. It was on 21st November 2007, that the terrorists killed two war heroes in an attack at Kuduru-vitthankulam.
An year later on a day like today, the tiger terrorists killed a war hero in Kilaly. The number of war heroes who made supreme sacrifices on behalf of the motherland in a ferocious attack mooted by the tiger terrorists on the Akkarayankulam Forward Defence Line on 21st November 2008 by the ruthless tiger terrorists was 11. On the same day, four more war heroes lost their lives in a tiger terrorist attack unleashed in the Adampan area.
Accordingly when terrorism which plagued the country for 30 years war annihilated on 18th May 2009, the number of war heroes who made supreme sacrifices in the face of the tiger terrorist attacks on 21st November throughout the dark period was 39. The gallant soldier uprooted terrorism from the country at the Nanthikadal Lagoon due to the bold leadership of President Rajapaksa who is the Commander in Chief. If not the entire country would have still been embroiled with this menace.
Queries have to be made from those who are emboldening the terrorists, whether it is a flaw to wipe out terrorism and give life to the lives of the innocent civilians. It should be emphatically mentioned that some are seeking inquiry reports not on how terrorism was eliminated but to inject life to the terrorists. There is no reason for anyone to forget as to the time taken by Britain, which is seeking inquiry reports of the conflict in Sri Lanka, to probe the killing of 13 innocent people in 1972. They took 40 years to submit a report on these killings. But is it correct for Britain to call for inquiry reports on Sri Lanka which wiped out terrorism, which not only terrorized the island but the entire world.
Only four years had passed since the routing of terrorism from Sri Lanka. Since then peace has been enthroned in the country and the entire nation is living in unity. Isn’t it the best example that Sri Lanka has given to the entire world?
