President Mahinda Rajapaksa reiterated that
no force can reverse the unparalleled
victories achieved by the Security Forces
against LTTE terrorism as they are fighting
a war setting an example to the entire world
without facing a single drawback since the
Mavilaru battle to the Wanni liberation
operation.
He made these observations while
participating at the annual War Heroes
Commemoration ceremony of the Sri Lanka
Sinha Regiment on Saturday (December 13) at
the Sinha Regiment Headquarters in Ambepussa.
"I don't think there is a single battle in
the world parallel to the battle fought by
our Security Forces at present in which they
secure victory after victory without facing
a single drawback", the President added.
He also observed that the country has been
fortunate enough to get a General in the
calibre of Lt. General Sarath Fonseka.
He said the forward march of our troops
could not be stopped by the chemical
weapons, air raids, earth bunds and monsoon
rains. The common masses of the country show
their affection and love towards these War
Heroes in whatever possible way they can,
but some media personnel are publishing
articles discouraging and de-motivating
Security Forces personnel. He further said
that the common masses of the country have
realized the genuine objectives of the
Government in launching this war against
terrorism. "Our objective is to bring
prosperity to the North in the same manner
we did in the East ", the President further
said.
