North-East war is against terrorism and not against minority says PM
[22 September 2000]

At a press conference to introduce the PA election manifesto, Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake said the North-East war was against terrorism and not against a minority, sources said.

The PA election manifesto was titled “ Our vision for a decent democratic and progressive path” and all constituent party leaders of the PA were present.

According to Prime Minister Wickremaratne, the government is committed to fighting the war against terrorism to the hilt and will leave no stone unturned to wipe out terrorism and conduct the war in the North and the East to a successful conclusion.

He also said that it is a great pity that the UNP and its leader, Ranil Wickremasinghe have still failed to denounce the atrocities committed by the LTTE.
