No force can reverse our military victories - President

 

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.
