The entire nation cannot forget the terrorist activities that plagued the country for 30 years.
It is with the enthronement of peace in the motherland by the heroic soldiers that a halt was made to the brutal incidents that horrified the country.
The tiger terrorists killing two war heroes in Kankesanthurai area on 27th March 1987, unveiled their killing spree on this day within the dark era. On 27th March 1993, three more war heroes lost their lives in another terrorist attack in the Monarawewa area in Welioya. Two other war heroes were killed in another terrorist attack in the Neerweli area on 27th March 1996.
Mannar was the next target of the terrorists on 27th March 1999. Lurking in this area the terrorists mooted an attack on a group of soldiers who were engaged in their duties, thus taking away the lives of four war heroes. On 27th March in the year 2000, the ruthless tiger terrorists mooted an attack on a group of innocent civilians who were engaged in farming in the Jaffna area. Two farmers were killed on their cultivation plots.
On the same day the terrorists mooted a powerful attack in the Jaffna Muhamalai, Kilaly and Eludumattuwal Forward Defence Line. 158 war heroes made supreme sacrifices on behalf of the unity of the motherland. In the year 2001, also on a day like today, the terrorists targeted an attack on a group of brave soldiers who were on foot patrol in the Chavakachcheri area in Jaffna. As a result two brave soldiers were killed.
On 27th March 2007, four civilians were abducted by the terrorists from the Chenkaladi area in Batticaloa and shot and killed, displaying the brutality to the entire world. On the same day in another terrorist attack on a group of war heroes in the Nagarkovil Forward Defence Line in Jaffna, the terrorists took away the lives of three gallant soldiers.
In the year 2009 also on 27th March, the terrorists unleashed several attacks on war heroes in the Puthukudiyiruppu area. As a result 27 war heroes made supreme sacrifices on behalf of the unity, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country.
Terrorism which was bane for the country was uprooted on 18th May 2009. By then these cruel terrorists had taken away a total of 228 lives on 27th March throughout the fear psychosis period. This included nine civilians. The other 219 were valiant soldiers. President Rajapaksa as the Commander in Chief leaving aside all obstacles took several bold decisions to liberate the country from the clutches of the terrorists. Accordingly, the future activities were planned on behalf of obliterating the terrorists. The members of the Security Forces succeeded in enthroning permanent peace in the motherland making supreme sacrifices by advancing in the humanitarian operation under the able guidance of Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. As a result all communities are living in unity and freedom in this peaceful country. But it is sad to note that certain local as well as extraneous forces are determined to destroy this freedom and peace.
Forces against the country operating to meet the aspirations of Western countries including Britain and the United States are adopting various strategies to denigrate the country. But these forces cannot achieve their ends as the patriotic citizens are clearly aware as to how such deceitful strategies should be defeated.
The members of the Security Forces, who liberated more than 300 thousand innocent Tamil civilians who were languishing under the jackboot of the terrorists, have given a fitting lesson to the world due to the operations carried out in a humane manner. However, it is ludicrous to note that Western countries which grossly violate human rights are seeking human rights reports from Sri Lanka which had perfectly safeguard these fundamental rights. All communities in the country will not at all hesitate to give a proper lesson to local as well as foreign conspirators.
