No one can forget the ruthless murders committed by the brutal tiger terrorists daily to quench their thirst for blood. These terrorists violated human rights flagrantly.
This feature clearly depicts the brutality unleashed by the terrorists on 13th February during the dark period
On 18th February 1983, the tiger terrorists lurking in the Point Pedro area launched an attack and killed two war heroes. Again on 18th February 1986, the ruthless terrorists unleashed another attack on a group of war heroes providing security to civilians in the Serunuwara area in Trincomalee. As a result two brave soldiers lost their lives. A vehicle plying in the Jaffna area carrying army officers was caught up in a landmine on 18th February 1996. It was planted by the terrorists. Three brave Army officers lost their lives in this landmine explosion.
The terrorists mooted an assault near the Uyilankulam Search Post in Mannar on 18th February 2008. Three valiant soldiers made supreme sacrifices in this assault on behalf of the country. On the same day the terrorists took away the lives of two more war heroes in the Adampan area.
The next attacks unleashed by the terrorists on 18th February was in the year 2009. 15 brave soldiers sacrificed their lives on behalf of the country in these heavy attacks carried out in the Puthukudiyiruppu, Kuliam Pokkanai and Thamarapuram areas.
Terrorism which was a plague for the entire country was annihilated on 18th May 2009. By then the number of lives taken away by the terrorists on 18th February throughout the dark period was 48. This included eight innocent civilians. The other 40 were war heroes. The war heroes succeeded in liberating the country from the barbaric terrorists through their advancement in the humanitarian operations due to the bold decisions taken by President Rajapaksa neglecting the influence and the pressure impressed upon by local as well as extraneous forces.
The gallant soldiers achieved this victory under the appropriate guidance given by Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa making supreme sacrifices. But many are determined to destroy the freedom that was achieved amidst untold difficulties. The sole intention of these forces are to provoke the people who are living in unity and destabilize the country. However, the patriotic citizens of the country are explicitly aware of the objectives of these conspiratorial forces and are not prepared to fall prey to them. The patriotic fraternity is also aware of how they should respond to such conspiratorial forces.
Our heroic soldiers liberated more than 300 thousand innocent civilians from the clutches of the terrorists, providing a new lesson to the entire world. They displayed to the world the initiatives that should be taken on a battlefront safeguarding the fundamental rights of the people. Queries had to be raised as to what basis the United States and Britain are making human rights allegations against Sri Lanka. The world media has already revealed details with evidence the flagrantly human eight violations committed by these countries. No one can influence Sri Lanka when the entire nation is united. Sri Lankans have constantly proved to the world that they will not hesitate to successfully face such influences.
