If the heroic soldiers under the prudent guidance of the Commander in Chief did not take initiatives to pulverize the LTTE terrorists, no one can estimate the damage they would have unleashed in the country and the lives taken away.
These barbaric insurgents denigrated the entire human kind through these massive disasters to portray to the entire world their brutality and ruthlessness. Today’s episode recalls the atrocities committed by these savage murderers.
The tiger terrorists launching an assault in the Wanni area on 10th May 1985 killed two war heroes and thus embarked on their killing spree on the 10th of May during the dark period with the aim of taking away more lives. On 10th May 1995, the ruthless terrorists lurking in the Kalepuliyankulam area took away the lives of 16 brave soldiers in a brutal assault.
Again on 10th May in the year 1997, the terrorists exploded a landmine in the Ehetugaswewa area and killed two war heroes. The next target of the terrorists was the Kurukkal Puttukulam area. They opened fire on a group of war heroes on 10th May 1999 and as a result four war heroes sacrificed their lives on behalf of the country.
On the same day these barbaric terrorists took away the lives of two more war heroes unleashing an attack in the Oddusudan area. 284 war heroes sacrificed their lives on behalf of the motherland in a ruthless attack on 10th May in the year 2000 shocking the entire country. In the year 2001 also on a day like today, the tiger terrorists mooted a heinous assault in the Sungawila area killing four war heroes.
Again on 10th May in the year 2009, the brutal terrorists mooted another powerful attack in the Karaiya Mulliwaikkal area depriving the country of the valuable services of five brave soldiers. Again on the same day in the same area the terrorists killed 10 war heroes in another series of attacks. Two war heroes died in a terrorist assault on 10th May 2009 in Mullaitivu.
Demented by the consecutive defeats they were suffering, the merciless terrorists took away the valuable lives of 13 war heroes in a heinous assault in the Wellamulliwaikkal area on 10th May 2009. Blatantly violating human rights, the terrorists in their killing spree on 10th May throughout the fear psychosis period had taken away a civilian life and also 352 valiant soldiers. The total number of lives thus taken away by the terrorists in this manner was 354.
The heroic soldiers enthroned real peace in the country due to the unwavering leadership of the Commander in Chief, President Rajapaksa and the prudent guidance of Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. Many members of the Security Forces sacrificed their lives as well as eyes, heads, hands and limbs in their brave attempts to enthrone freedom in the motherland. They are really eternal heroes.
The Leader of the country who provided a fitting lesson to the world by annihilating terrorism from the country, is giving another lesson to the world by looking after the war heroes who have been rendered disabled in their operation to end terrorism. Certain local as well extraneous forces do not see the real heroism of these war heroes. But the entire nation eternally loves and takes care of them. It is the bravery and courage of the war heroes who made supreme sacrifices that are being recounted in these episodes.
