No one can estimate the value of lives lost as a result of ruthless terrorism which grasped the country for three decades. Many made dedications even sacrificing their lives on behalf of the noble
This is another episode of the atrocities committed by the ferocious terrorists during the dark era.
The tiger terrorists who barged into the Dewalagodella village on 29th March 1988 ruthlessly started attacking the innocent villagers. The terrorists bumped off seven civilians in these attacks. It was again on 29th March in 1999 that the terrorists targeted a claymore attack at the war heroes in the Kotiyamale area. They killed seven gallant soldiers.
The terrorists unleashed a powerful attack in the Puthumathalan area on 29th March 2009 killing three more war heroes. On the same day the war heroes had to confront several terrorist attacks in the Iranamadu area from several directions. As a result 19 war heroes made supreme sacrifices on behalf of the motherland.
The brutal insurgency which was a scourge for the country was quelled on 18th May 2009. By then the barbaric terrorists had taken away a total of 53 lives on 29th March throughout the fear psychosis period. It included 13 innocent civilians. The other 40 were heroic soldiers.
Members of the Security Forces who advanced in the humanitarian operations succeeded in liberating the entire country from these brutal terrorists and enthroning permanent peace in the motherland. They did so under the vibrant and dynamic leadership of President Rajapaksa and the far-sighted guidance of Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
The patriotic citizens of the country will not at all hesitate in properly responding to the false and unfounded allegations made by certain local as well as extraneous forces that the President and the valiant soldiers, who gave new life to the innocent Tamil civilians who were suffering the tyranny of LTTE dominance by liberating them, had transgressed human rights. It is because that the patriotic fraternity is aware that they who have the correct response to this issue.
