The massive devastation unleashed in the country by the ruthless terrorists was ended with the initiatives taken by the President as the Commander in Chief and the war heroes to quell the brutal insurgency.
If not the shedding of blood by the terrorists would have continued. Another episode of the atrocities committed by the terrorists is being unveiled today.
The ruthless tiger terrorists on 17th February killing a war hero in the Mannar area embarked on their killing spree as they were barbaric and did not understand the real value of human life. On the same day these tiger terrorists unleashed another massive assault on a group of war heroes providing security to the Kondachchi area, displaying their brutality to the world. 45 war heroes made supreme sacrifices in this attack on behalf of the unity of the motherland as well as for the future of the posterity.
Another gruesome attack was mooted by the terrorists on a group of brave soldiers who were on foot patrol in the Jaffna area on 17th February in the year 2000. Two war heroes sacrificed their lives in this assault. The ruthless tiger terrorists exploded a claymore mine near a road in the Jaffna-Chundikulam area on 17th February in the year 2007. Three war heroes were killed in this explosion.
In the year 2009 also on a day like today heavy attacks were mooted by the terrorists in the Pillayar Kudiruppu, Udayarkattu, Wellamulliwaikkal and Puthukudiyiruppu areas. As a result 14 war heroes sacrificed their lives on behalf of the country.
Terrorism that was fast spreading like a pestilence and was a bane to the country was pulverized on 18th May 2009 from the Nanthikadal Lagoon. By then the terrorists had taken away 87 lives. This included two civilians. The other 85 were valiant soldiers.
The heroic soldiers succeeded in liberating the country from terrorism due the bold initiatives taken by President Rajapaksa sans neglecting the pressure exerted by local as well as extraneous forces with the sole determination of enthroning peace in the country. The brave soldiers achieved these magnanimous victories making supreme sacrifices following the proper guidance offered by Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
Many groups are determined to destroy the freedom won by the war heroes experiencing enormous hardships. Their intention is to arouse the people who are living in harmony and destabilize the country. But the patriotic citizens of the country are clearly aware of the desire of their conspiratorial forces and are not prepared to fall prey to them. The patriotic fraternity is also aware of how they should respond to such traitors.
The heroic soldiers liberated more than 300 thousand civilians who were languishing under the jackboot of the terrorists, teaching a new lesson to the world. Sri Lanka has pointed out to the world what actions should be initiated in a battle ground safeguarding human rights. But we, after discharging its duties properly, need to make queries from Britain and the United States as to why they were making human rights accusations against Sri Lanka. Is it because the world mass media has already exposed to the world with evidence the fundamental rights breaches made by these countries? No one can influence us, when were are united. Over and over again the Sri Lankans have proved to the world that they do not hesitate to face any pressure exerted on them.
We do possess photographs of the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the battlefront. We received a high response to the appeal made from you to dispatch to use the valuable photographs you possess. We did our utmost to display such photographs during the dark memories segment on the dates concerned. We would further request you to send any such valuable photographs.
