No one can forget the massive destruction unleashed by the blood thirsty terrorists, whose task was to destroy lives throughout 30 years. The heroic soldiers amazed the world routing the tiger terrorists who terrorized the international community, and bringing permanent peace to the country.
The destruction unleashed by the terrorists and the humanity displayed by the war heroes, were revealed to the world. This feature contains details of the mercilessness of the tigers.
January 28th in 1987 dawned sending shock waves throughout the country. The murderous tiger terrorists took away the lives of 13 war heroes, by exploding a landmine, while they were travelling in a vehicle in the Kokadicholai area. The terrorists who killed the 13 war heroes in this manner unveiled their killing spree on 28th January in the dark era.
On 28th January 1996, the brutal terrorists launched an assault on war heroes who were providing security in the Janakapura area in Welioya and killed three of them. In the year 1997, also on a day like today the terrorists planted a landmine targeting a vehicle in which civilians were travelling in the Kuda Pokuna area. As a result six civilians were killed.
Two attacks were mooted by the ruthless tiger terrorists at Akkaraipattu and Meeyamkulam also on 28th January in 1998. Four war heroes made supreme sacrifices on behalf of the country in this assault. In the year 2000 on a day like today, the tiger terrorists killed four war heroes launching heinous attack and killed four war heroes in the Kuchchaveli area. These murderous tiger cadres mooted a mortar attack in the Adampan area on 28th January 2008, taking away the lives of two war heroes. Several gruesome attacks were launched by the brutal tiger terrorists in the Puthukudiyiruppu, Udayarkattu, Puliyan Pokkanai and Puthukudiyiruppu West areas. As a result of these cowardly attacks, the terrorists deprived the country of valuable lives of two gallant soldiers.
Terrorism which had been a bane to the country in this manner was routed on 18th May 2009. By then these ruthless tiger cadres had bumped off eight civilians and 68 valiant soldiers, altogether numbering 73 on 28th January throughout the fear psychosis period.
The brave soldiers who advanced overcoming all obstacles receiving strength and courage under the vibrant and dynamic leadership of President Rajapaksa enthroned permanent peace in the country for all communities to live in unity. It is pathetic to note that human rights outfits which talk highly on the protection of human fundamental rights are reticent on the blatant violation of human rights by these atrocious tiger terrorists. Sri Lanka is in a position to prove with evidence how the terrorists brutally slaughtered innocent Tamil civilians who were under Prabhakaran’s jackboot for going against them.
It was under such a background that the heroic soldiers liberated over 300 thousand Tamil civilians from the grip of the terrorists without causing any harm to them and even sacrificed food and drink they had to these helpless civilians to quench their thirst and hunger. This was how the courageous soldiers displayed their human qualities to the world not only by word but also by deed.
Countries such as Britain and the United States are demanding reports from Sri Lanka claiming that human rights had been flouted. However, the international media has already shed light on the blatant human rights violations that have been committed by these world powers.
Does not terrorism spread by the terrorists slaughtering thousands of persons, amount to breach of human rights? Isn’t it the liberation of civilians and granting them relief by the gallant soldiers, while making supreme sacrifices, clear evidence to portray to the world that respect human rights.
The incidents which happened during the dark period are being reminisced to indicate the viciousness of terrorism.
